I believe this is a compile-time opton -- using --with_passfile -- and
also comes with a default, depending on what your platform is (mine is
".pine-passfile").  It might also be possible to have it not set at
all (or have it be empty?).  And there might be a command-line option
to tell you what it is set to, I'm not sure.
