Hi OSF People,
Following advice from this mailing list to the effect that the easiest
pop3 daemon by far to install and run on OSF was the "Clemson" one
(at
ftp://hubcap.clemson.edu), I downloaded it the other day and
found that it's all true - it really is easy to setup - *unless* you
have any kind of enhanced security installed.
If you have OSF with Enhanced Security then get Stuart "Zen" Bishop's
version from
ftp://ftp.bf.rmit.edu.au/pub/src/pop3d.
But I also wanted to install the Clemson pop3d on some Ultrix machines
we have, also with Enhanced Security installed, and found the security
interfaces on Ultrix differ from those on OSF/1, so I had to make mods to
pop3d.c to call the Ultrix enhanced security interfaces for password checking.
I can't believe I'm the only one to have done this,
and I also note that the latest release dates back to 1992, so I
tried to email the Clemson pop3d author (as named in the source files)
about this, but got :-
Your message could not be delivered to
'wstef_at_eng.clemson.edu (host: eng.clemson.edu) (queue: smtpns)'
for the following reason:
' <wstef_at_eng.clemson.edu>... User unknown'
So my question is :-
a) is there a later or better version of the Clemson pop3 daemon
somewhere else ?
(BTW: I couldn't find the other recommended pop3d, namely
the Qualcomm one at ftp.qualcomm.com/pub/quest - the directory
doesn't exist)
b) does anyone want *my* patch to pop3d for Ultrix Enhanced
security ? (I'm not the world's greatest C programmer)
Be Lucky,
