comfigure uw imap server
 

after doing the make on the uw imap server, I am given these instructions to do to make it work:

3) Install the POP2 daemon (ipopd/ipop2d), the POP3 daemon (ipopd/ipop3d), and
the IMAP daemon (imapd/imapd) on a system directory of your choosing.

4) Update /etc/services to register the pop2 service on TCP port 109, the
pop3 service on TCP port 110, and the imap service on TCP port 143. Also
update Yellow Pages/NIS/NetInfo/etc. if appropriate on your system.

5) Update /etc/inetd.conf to invoke the POP2, POP3, and IMAP daemons on their
associated services.

6) That's all!

----------------------

What do I do to make these things happen. By this I mean, what directories do i put them in and what do I do to update inetd.conf (or xinetd on my mandrake 8.1 system) to make this get up and going?

is there a reason you're not using RPMs?
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...&system=&arch=

yes. When I try to install the rpm of it, I get the need dependency error for lib.so.6(glibc 2.3) I have tried and tried to install this glibc2.3 rpm on my linux boxes forever and I have never been able to.

Anyone know any other suggestions? I really need this in a hurry...

i've never used uw before but i recommend u try out courier-imap - easier to setup and u won't have problems getting the dependencies.

get it here:

http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/source...-1.7.3.tar.bz2

u can build the binary/source rpms using this command:

rpmbuild -ta courier-imap-1.7.3.tar.bz2

(do the rpmbuild as non-root user.)

hth.

Hi heathpitts,

1) Look in /usr/sbin. You should already have imapd, pop2d and pop3d there.

2) In /etc/services you should already have the protocol/ports set up as well.

3) In /etc/xinetd.d just edit the imap, pop and/or pop2/3 to "disable=no" and restart xinetd.

Let me know what happens.

Well I checked all that but I still cannot connect to the server at port 143 I still get connection refused. This happens even if I start it manually from the CLI. Anything else I should check to make sure this port is opened up?

where would the log be that would tell me if something is wrong when it is starting up the imap server?

I got it working by editing /etc/services and hosts.allow and adding it to xinetd.d
