I have used qpopper with Tru64, Digital Unix, OSF/1 for years. Sometime in the not so distant past but I can't remember when or the details of why, I have had to configure with the following:

./configure --enable-specialauth --without-pam

Currently with Tru64 V5.1A with PK6, I have successfully compiled and run 4.1a4 with the following compiler:

alpha> cc -V
Compaq C V6.4-014 on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A (Rev. 1885)
Compiler Driver V6.4-215 (sys) cc Driver


Unfortunately, 4.1a5 will not successfully compile based on the same configure. It stop with the error:

cc -c -I.. -I.. -I. \
                -I../mmangle -I../common  \
                -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DOSF1 -DUNIX main.c -o main.o
cc: Error: main.c, line 150: Missing type specifier or type qualifier. (missingtype)
        socklen_t ai_addrlen;
--------^
make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/dsk1/vic/qpopper/qpopper4.1a5/popper'
make: *** [popper_server] Error 2

This appears to be associated with 4.1a4 to 4.1a5 enhancements associated with ipv6 support. Since Tru 5.1A supports ipv6 even though it is not being used, I tried to configure with:

./configure --enable-specialauth --without-pam --enable-ipv6

but that made no difference. By defining INET6 in config.h, 4.1a5 will successfully compile and run.

 Does qpopper no longer support Tru64 5.1 enhanced security?

It's been awhile since I've been asked to upgrade qpopper on Tru64 and previous versions (at least up to 4.0.4) supported enhanced security with the --enable-specialauth configuration option.

The --enable-specialauth option is still there, although ./configure figures out if it is needed for many platforms. Are you having a problem with Tru64?
