I have compiled the exim 4.20 from source and would like to install it

One way to do it is to use the equivs package, which is basically a fake 
package that lies to dpkg and satisfies dependencies.

The APT HOWTO at 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-helpers.en.html describes 
how to use it, and even uses an MTA as the example case.

Note, however, that the package information page at 
http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/equivs.html uses language like 
"crude hack" to describe itself.

If there's Debian packaging information for 4.20, I'd strongly recommend 
 just building a new Debian package file and installing /it/ instead.

The "ipmasq" package seems to do a pretty fair job of it.
Copy one of the rule files that live in /etc/ipmasq/rules to just the 
right place -- I85application.rul appears to work -- and stick your port 
forwarding rules in there.

Let's see... I'd attach mine if I knew the list rules would let me.

Can anyone give me any figures on how much machine I need to serve as a

I appreciate that every server is unique, but I can't judge these things 
for the life of me, and if I had baseline numbers I could modify them to 
suit. \:

I'm looking at a thousand users, but anything would help.

Re: IMAP / POP... permissions?

I think I missed the start of this thread, but under Cyrus, using IMAP to
access a mailbox, you have the following ACLs:

l	Look up the name of the mailbox but not it's contents
r	Read the contents of the mailbox
w	change status flags
i 	insert a message
d	delete a message

among other, from this you could give some one rwi, so that message status
is preserved (i.e. seen, reply etc) but they can't delete the message.


Wonderful wonderful wonderful!

Do you mean make it "read-only"? 

Mostly. But I know that IMAP stores things like lastread locally, and I 
don't want to interfere with that.

So not... completely read-only. But yes, that's the general idea.

Everything I've read so far tells me that it's gonna be nigh-on 
impossible without brittle permission tricks or source hacking. I'm 
really hoping someone has a better answer.

IMAP / POP... permissions?

2003-02-05 Thread Asher Densmore-Lynn

I need to teach a mailbox how to implement permissions. Specifically, 
how to deny a client's deletion commands.

Is this possible without source hacking? I'll do even that if I must, 
but I really don't want to.

POP or  IMAP, I'll use whatever works, but there oughta be a way.

FTP Proxy

Can anyone recommend to me a good (non-transparent by
preference) FTP proxy? I've never managed to get SOCKS
and active FTP to work well together, so I've always
needed PASV, and I'm encountering problems with
misconfigured sites that can't use passive
connections.

Any help would be appreciated. Please CC replies to me.

The smallest pointer will be appreciated -- I can figure it out, I think,

SOCKS

2001-10-25 Thread Asher Densmore-Lynn
What're my options for forcing a program to use SOCKS when it doesn't
expecially want to?

I've installed a SOCKS proxy on a machine that's local to another link to
draw off the worst of our -- err -- non-administrative activities; firing
everyone (myself included) would be somewhat embarassing, so I need a
technical solution. It's helping already, since many Win32 programs support
SOCKS, but it could do more yet.

Techniques that'd work in Linux and/or FreeBSD would be appreciated.

Back up all the webalizer.* files, then cut the log file up into pieces and
figure out which one is giving webalizer such a headache? If there's a
particular malformed line involved, Perl might be able to make the logchunk
more palatable for it.

Check the source directory on a Debian CD/FTP. Grab the -orig tarball and
the -diff.

Unpck the source, apply the .diff, and that's the ./debian directory with
all the rulesets you're looking for.

Be cautioned, you're gonna have to read that patch line by line; many apps
are patched to meet the LSB, and the build process depends on those patches
having been implemented.
