Dear Bill,

I've put the package in the queue now. Feel free to check it out.

Your authentication problems may be caused by the certificate, or not having the proper file in the /etc/pam.d directory. The latter is taken care of by the package, the former you'll have to take care of yourself.

Here some info of what to do after installing the package to get Mail.app work with imapd:

1) Install local fink package imapd-ssl (2004d-1)

2) Create SSL certificate on colibri (as root):

   cd /System/Library/OpenSSL/certs
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.cer -keyout imapd.pem - days 3650

   (supply full network address after "Your Name")

   cat imapd.cer >> imapd.pem

3) Place certificate in Keychain (as root):

   certtool i imapd.cer k=/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors

Do the same at other computers accessing the IMAP server after copying over the certificate

4) Set Mail preferences:

   Create new account

   Remember to set full network address (machine.network.com)
If connection gets rejected, check SSL box in "Advanced" tab afterwards and enter "imap" in IMAP path prefix (or whatever is the directory name that holds the IMAP archive
   in the home directory at machine.network.com)
   Click "Synchronize machine.network.com"

Cheers,
Remko
