Hi,
A question about qmail-popup.
Here is a part of the qmail-popup manual.
qmail-popup expects descriptor 0 to read from the network
and descriptor 1 to write to the network. It reads a
username and password from descriptor 0 in POP's USER-PASS
style or APOP style. It invokes subprogram, with the same
descriptors 0 and 1; descriptor 2 writing to the network;
and descriptor 3 reading the username,
What use is it to give descriptor 2 as writing to the network
i'v checked the source for qmail-pop3d and did not find
anything that wrote to descriptor 2.
Are there any programs out there that do use it?
I know descriptor 2 is stderr so it could be that when an error msg
is
send to stderr it is send to the network, but how can you do logging
in this case.
My patch for pop3d loggin disables this feature and send the error
msgs
from qmail-pop3d to stdout(1) and stderr(2) so that the error is send
to the
network and also to any logging program that is used.
Any comments on this.
