I saw a lot of these files when I was trying to get courier-imap to do 
imap-before-smtp with authdaemon.  This doesn't work because the remote 
tcp environment doesn't get passed to vchkpw.  open_relay() would choke 
without the remote IP and leave these files around.  I don't recall for 
sure, but I think that if the open-smtp file was left owned by root, 
vchkpw (via pop) could no longer update it.

Instead, I compiled courier-imap without authdaemon, and just used 
authvchkpw.

If you're not using courier-imap, checkout permissions.  Is open-smtp 
and tcp.smtp.cdb owned by the same user that your pop server is running 
as?
