On RHAS4, at any rate (and therefore likely all FCs), FAM has been replaced by gam_serv, which does what FAM did, but on a per user basis. There's a short description of why RH went from FAM in /usr/share/doc/gamin or whatever. Courier IMAP needs either, as documented, if you need real time updates on folders accessed real time by more than one client - or one client with simultaneous connections. You can build without, but then with reduced effect. On this list, in the past, there's been much criticism of FAM, apart from other things of it not working as expected (advertised). It always worked for me, before Gamin. > So should you!

Come on now, laugh out loud like the rest of us. Sam gave you Courier, what more do you want? There's nothing in his version of your GPL that says you shouldn't expect wisecracks. If he'd said it with a smile over a beer, you'd have let it pass like water off a duck's back. --Tonni -- Tony Earnshaw Email: tonni at hetnet dot nl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
