I find it kind of weird that people click right through `make config' without reading it. Actually, the apache module was the default until recently.

Re: Need IMAP Server Selection Advice
Shouldn't be much difference - except that it might actually be easier. I came from Linux (way back in the RH6.0 days) running Cyrus Imapd to FreeBSD running the same. I recently moved over to Courier Imapd, which I think I like better. Cyrus required a lot of up front work and detailed tweaking, but Courier was surprisingly easy. The distribution config was pretty self explanatory with good descriptions of what was needed, and the only thing I needed to do by hand is make sure all the maildirs were created - which courier provides a utility for. I've always found that it's far easier to get software working when I use the ports. Nowadays, I never - and I mean NEVER - install software any other way if there is a port I can use. When I want a package to solve a particular problem, the ports are the first second, and last place I search. You might want to check your disk layout before deciding. Cyrus will store all mail in a single location, typically somewhere in /var, while Courier puts it right in maildir folders in the home directory - although you can tweak this if you don't want to create shell accounts for every mail account. Personally, I like Courier better. I know where my mail is, and I have a lot more flexibility in my filtration and delivery. Read the other responses coming. There are other IMAP capable servers in the ports, and most of them will get a nod from the list folk. I'd have to agree with the poster. For a small installation Courier is faster to get up and running the Cyrus. But once you start having to use it with 20-30 users, Cyrus is hands down a better deal. Yes, it does take a more grokking to get Cyrus running correctly but not having shell accounts on your mailserver is a blessing. As long as you have a small installation, most of the decisions are fairly meaningless, i.e. mbox or maildir, which smtp server, etc. I had been admin' a moderatly sized (cyrus/exim/spamassasin/clam-av) setup until recently when we switched to the darkside.

I'd like to use these ID to arrange access to the control panel system. I'm stuck at the very start of my design process. I have two tasks to do: Verify that users have supplied the correct password; and let the perl scripts know who that visitor is, so that we can select the correct accounts to show. Do I use SASL directly? or LDAP? or do I implement an Apache module to handle access and let Apache do the work? I want to do The right thing - that is, the most general and correct thing possible, I've got years of experience in perl scripting, but at the moment I wandering around in a twisty litte maze of standards, all different. Clue, please? You're basically writing a web application. For which you need access control. You've got two choices: either use the HTTP basic or HTTP digest auth mechanisms built into HTTP, and supported by Apache, or (and this is by far the most popular choice) write your own authentication mechanism as part of your application[1]. The second choice gives you a lot more flexibility about how you customise things and how you make the login screen look, which is probably why it's more popular. You can also arrange things to avoid sending passwords across the net in cleartext if you're cunning enough. However you do it, the authentication process is essentially that the client sends you two pieces of information: their username (ie. who they claim to be) and some form of secret. The secret is usually a password, but it can be something more complicated like an Opie one-time password or whatever. Then in your application you compare the secret to your stored version of it, and if they match you believe that the client is who they say they are and that they should have access. Of course, you don't want to keep the secret values lying around in plain text: the standard Unix response to all that is to generate a password hash using DES or MD5 to store, and to try and recreate that hash using the password supplied by the user. That's where SASL comes in: instead of having to code up all that stuff your self, SASL is a library of authentication methods that you can just plug into your application. Yes, you will need some sort of user account database -- often implemented using a RDBMS, but could with little extra effort be made to operate against an LDAP or RADIUS server. Or whatever the database type you're already using for your Postfix+Cyrus setup. There are several examples of doing this sort of thing within the ports system -- most are written in PHP, but check out devel/bugzilla and www/rt3 for perl based examples. Cheers, Matthew I'd be grateful if someone would point out some examples of SASL authentication using PHP in the ports. I've searched through the ports, but had no luck finding any.

They are working fine, although I received an important email with a 1.2MB attachment and wanted to read that. Unfortunately, when I access that, it says Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 9437240 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 79 bytes) in /usr/local/www/data-dist/webmail/functions/mime.php on line 113 You php.ini file most likely has memory_limit = 8M set. This is why you get the error. Try upping the limit to 16M and see if that solves your problem. -jeff ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: squirrel/qmail/quota question [Success]
Thanks for replying. Peter Risdon told me that earlier but I forgot to say that i got it working. I was wondering if since that file I was accessing was only 1M, and it took up about 10M of memory, do files for example 2M take up about 20M of memory? Is the relation 1:10 or more? Im just speculating coz I want to make concrete rules for php.ini to follow that are safe on system resources. It really depends on the file. I am surprised that a 1.2M attachment used so much memory. When sending attachments, they are normally mime encoded, because mail doesn't like the high bits set. Anyway, I normally expect a 2x memory usage. That is 1M attachment takes 2M of space once encoded. the attachment size is always listed as the un-mimed size of the file not how much space it's taking while it's encoded. I would leave it set a 16MB and tell your MTA to reject any attachment bigger than 5MB. But that depends on the terrain. Anything bigger and they *should* be using sFTP. We can dream can't weg -jeff p.s. Check out squirrelmail on and see if there are any problems with the mime functions in v1.40, a quick look see at the CVS should tell you if there is. That might be an answer to why a 1.2M file ate up over 8M of memory. http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/functions/mime.php?only_with_tag=SM-1_4-STABLE ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable The credit has been lost along the way, but I was quoting the man page. If I am following you correctly, then having a ~/,bashrc, ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile file is worthless, if bash reads only the first file that it finds. I am referring in this scenario to the ~/.bash_profile file. On systems that I have used, I have seen the following: ~/.bash_profile which then executes ~/.bashrc when then executes /etc/bashrc the logic being that: # Personal envrionment variables and startup programs go in ~/.bash_profile # Personal aliases and functions should go in ~/.bashrc. . # System wide aliases and functions are in /etc/bashrc. # System wide environment variables and startup programs are in /etc/profile funny thing is that I was just researching that topic today. Now, if someone sees a glaring problem with the above information please feel free to let me in on it. -Jeff ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
