This seems right.

As long as readproctitle has only a bunch of dots after it, there is no
error. :)

Yes, that seems right too.

Good.

I tested with this version of Netscape mail and it worked fine, so I'm a
bit confused.

Ok.

No, the supervise run file is enough.

>Also, should these files be empty?

No, they shouldn't! ;) Check /var/log/messages and see if there is any
output there. Also try to run "openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:993"
and see if you get the greeting.

If you get a greeting, try the command:

1 LOGIN <username> <password>

Replace <username> and <password> without the '<' and '>'. for example:

1 LOGIN jacko myp4sswd

See what reply you get.

Andy :-)
