.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
If
\fIusername\fR\'s password is
\fIoldpassword\fR, it is replaced with
\fInewpassword\fR\.
\fIservice\fR
identifies which so\-called "service"\'s password is changed; like
\(lqimap\(rq
or
\(lqpop3\(rq\. Some Courier authentication library\'s back\-end module can use different passwords for different services\.
\fIservice\fR
is ignored if this is not the case\.
.SH "RETURNS"
.PP

\fBauth_passwd\fR
returns 0 if the password was succesfully changed\. A non\-0 error code indicates a failure\.\.
