Subject: A question on using rimap

Hi,

	I would like to setup imap to behave as rimap. However, the doc 
says that I have to have rimap in /etc. Checking the in imap2.c shows 
that the filename is hardcoded. I tried to change it to something else 
but it doesn't work (still expects from /etc/rimap since as soon as I put 
it back in there it works).

	Is there a way to make imap to work as rimap such that rimap is 
in somewhere else (like /usr/local/etc/rimap)?

	Thanks in advance

Chee Wai

Chee,

If you change the location of rimapd, you have to change all of the _clients_
that will be using it (e.g. pine).  This means that you have to change all of
the Pine clients that will be accessing that server via rimap....

I hope that helps!

Of course, the entry in /etc/ can be a *link* to wherever the real 
executable lives.
