Rebuild instructions for amd64 systems

2009-10-29 Thread Richard Gehlbach
I am installing FreeBSD 7.2 / amd64 on a new server (HP DL370 G6) with 2 
quad Xeon processors and 16GB memory.  I have worked with the i386 
versions since version 3.x, but this is the first server large enough to 
need amd64.


I have been trying to determine the correct procedures for rebuilding 
the world and kernel.  I have not been able to find a location that had 
step by step instructions, similar to the handbook, for properly working 
with the amd64 version.  Searches have turned up so many fragments of 
what needs to be done, that I cannot feel confident trying to put the 
pieces together.


I need instructions for the command line compile options, conf file 
additions, and any special instructions.


If anyone can point me to some applicable links or some specific 
instructions, it would be appreciated.


TIA
Richard

Re: Drop in replacement for imap-UW?

I've been running imap-UW on FreeBSD 6.x STABLE for a while. Clients 
are mostly Thunderbird, TREOs and Horde (running on the same box.


I'm having issues when multiple clients try to access the same user's 
mailbox. Typically the TREO will do a scheduled check for new mail 
while Thunderbird has it already open. Research indicates that this is 
a limitation of the UW imapd implementation.
We ran into this problem on shared access to mail, and found it was an 
issue with locks against the mailbox.  Take a look at the mbx format in 
the UW's formats.txt file - 
http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/formats.txt.html - and the 
FAQ at http://www.washington.edu/imap/IMAP-FAQs/index.html#4.5.  I 
understand that not all clients support this format.  We are using it 
successfully with Thunderbird and Squirrelmail.  It allows simultaneous 
mail access, deletions, etc.


Can anyone recommend a good and secure imapd implementation that won't 
require a ton of reconfiguration? Mostly I'd like the replacement to 
be able to use all the existing end-user imap folders and mail spools. 
All users have accounts and mail spools on the box. There's no virtual 
users or database authentication backends to deal with.
