qpopper with shadow passwords

[Alan Mead <adm ipat com>]

I'm running RH 5.2 with shadow passwords.  I've built qpopper 2.53
according to the INSTALL including --enable-apop, --with-popuid, &
--enable-specialauth.  

Here's what I do it init and the error message; it seems to work but won't
authenticate:

[root conan sbin]# ls -l pop*
-rwsrwxr-x   1 pop      pop         20550 Mar 31 14:07 popauth*
-rwxrwxr-x   1 root     root       173265 Mar 31 14:07 popper*
[root conan sbin]# pwd
/usr/sbin
[root conan sbin]# /usr/sbin/popauth -init
/usr/sbin/popauth: error setting ownership of POP authorization DB: No such
file or directory
[root conan sbin]# ls -l /etc/pop.auth.db
-rw-------   1 root     root        16384 Mar 31 14:11 /etc/pop.auth.db
