i have two questions regarding using courier-imapd with pine. i've used uw-imapd to authenticate without a password by linking /etc/rimpad to the imapd binary and setting ssh-command to %s %s -q -l %s exec /etc/r%sd in the pine.conf file.
this is nice since users don't have to enter their passwords again when logging in. however it doesn't seem to work quite right with courier. i can't do something like this: jazz [~]% ssh zugzug exec /etc/rimapd Maildir * PREAUTH Ready. INFO: LOGIN, user=user, ip=[127.0.0.1] a01 login william mypassword a01 NO Error in IMAP command received by server. (with or without 'Maildir' after /etc/rimapd) but it works properly if i telnet to port 143 and login the same way. also since upgrading (i think the old version was like .99 or something; the new version is 1.4.0, built from the debian package), i've had a couple pine users claim that sorting a folder takes longer. i was under the impression that pine's caching / sorting was mostly on the client side (i'm not a pine user so i don't know that much about it), but after setting IMAP_DISABLETHREADSORT=1 on the server side and restarting imapd, it appears that sorting doesn't work (which would indicate that at least some sorting happens on the server side. the complaint is that before, sorting once would take a while, but after the first time it would be quick. now it seems to take about the same time (aprox 8 seconds for a folder with 1600 or so messages) each time the sort filter is changed. i have IMAP_OBSOLETE_CLIENT=1 set; i can give otehr configuration details the system is debian linux 2.2 (potato) with a 2.4.10 non openwall kernel. courier was built on potato from the unstable package; the packages installed are courier-authdaemon, courier-base, courier-doc, courier-imap, courier-imap-ssl, and courier-ssl. the machine is running a recent postfix snapshot and delivery is to Maildir format folders on a local disk. i hope this is enough information; i can provide further information on the system or configuration if possible. -- The three wise men brought frank incest and mirth. _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
