i read that shadow passwords were added in 10.3, though.  this could be 
why there aren't any shadow libs.  but no pam libs?  not sure...

the AUTH_PASSWD suggestion allows popa3d to compile.  it is validating 
passwords in stand-alone mode and, once inetd.conf was changed and 
inetd restarted, it validates via telnet.

sweet.

thanks for the help!
