I have compiled the imapd that is distributed with Pine 3.91 (I think it's
version 3.5) and have it running under AIX 4.1.4 and AFS 3.4beta. I changed
the server login routine in the C-client library so that it uses the AIX 4.1
authenticate() subroutine. This allows imapd to authenticate against the AFS
kaserver instead of the password file. It works fine for mail sessions which
do not last longer that the AFS token lifetime. I have a bit more work to do
to have imapd handle token expiration gracefully.
There is a POP daemon included in the imap 3.5 distribution which funnels
requests to the IMAP daemon. It uses the same C-client library routines to
authenticate, so should work the same way that the IMAP daemon does with AFS.
I haven't tested the POP daemon.
I'll be happy to send code fragments and diffs if you're interested.
Regards,
Jan
