Re: doubts about re-compile
Is qmail-pop3d.c the only file affected by the patch? If so why don't you cd the qmail source tree, apply the patch and then: make and copy the qmail-pop3d to /var/qmail/bin ? Best regards.

from my experience, the easiest way to effectively kill you server (for some time, until you solve it) is to do just what is proposed by Jose below, and to forget to set the right permissions and ownership for the copied file. ---Original Message--- From: Jose AP Celestino japc@gandalf Date: Monday, January 29, 2001 06:45:34 PM To: J.J.Gallardo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: doubts about re-compile Is qmail-pop3d.c the only file affected by the patch?If so why don't you cd the qmail source tree, apply the patch and then:makeand copy the qmail-pop3d to /var/qmail/bin ?Best regards.On Mon, Jan 29, 2001 at 04:33:28PM +0100, J.J.Gallardo wrote: This is a doubt about the best way to compile again qmail: I have my system running qmail perfectly, but some days ago i discovered that qmail has not the patch that "Scott Moorhouse" re-wrote to solve the problem with the "Netscape's download indicator doesn't progress".

Can I compile "qmail" in another machine and later move and/or copy only /var/qmail/bin/*? That's my best option cause only stop the server a minute at the time of day i wish, but i would like to know others opinions about this. You can just - apply the patch - 'make' - copy qmail-pop3d to /var/qmail/bin (you might need to shutdown pop3 for a second to do so) qmail-pop3d is the only program affected by this patch.

Re: Doubts
Dear Markus, I know that, but did you read all the e-mail? I'd like to know how I can access the descriptors sent by the qmail-popup! What are these descriptors in POP's USER-PASS style?

What are these descriptors in POP's USER-PASS style? And the rest of my doubts are in the first email. If you get a connection from inetd/tcpserver you have one FD to read net input and one FD to write output to the net. These are connected to 0 and 1 (usually stdin and stdout). qmail-popup reads from "stdin" (i.e. net-in) a sequence of commands: USER username PASS password or APOP apop-token as defined in rfc1939. It then exec's "checkpassword" and provides two additional FDs: 2 and 3. It has to do so, to keep 0 and 1 "unchanged" for read/write to the network. FD2 ist identical to FD 1 (ie. write to the network). On FD 3 it passes USER/PASS/APOP info to checkpassword in the form user\0passwd\0apop_token\0 \Maex -- SpaceNet AG | http://www.Space.Net/ | Stress is when you wake Research Development| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | up screaming and you Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Tel: +49 (89) 32356-0| realize you haven't D-80807 Muenchen | Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 | fallen asleep yet.

Re: Doubts: qmail and IMAP
* Gilberto Rodrigues ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [ 7 Apr 2000 08:49]: I want to use qmail, maildirs and IMAP to config a mail server. I installed qmail v1.03, daemontools and ucspi-tcp packages and everything is running ok. I downloaded UW-IMAP 4.7b, compiled it, applied David Harris patch and build it. Ok, now it's time to install IMAP, but I have some doubts (probably they're a little bit basic, but I would be very grateful if someone could help me). You may also wish to consider Mr. Sam's courier-imap, which works nicely with Qmail and maildirs: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/ [Dave: you could/should perhaps add this URL to the LWQ page in the IMAP server section] -- Quist ConsultingEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 219 Donlea DriveVoice: +1.416.696.7600 Toronto ON M4G 2N1 Fax: +1.416.978.6620 CANADA WWW: http://www.quist.on.ca
