Subject: Imapd Setup

Hi,

I am trying to install pine in our corporation. We are facing a couple 
of problems in the Imapd setup.

A. We are not able to setup Imapd to utilise the .rhosts file entries 
   in a way similar to rsh. We have made an entry linking /etc/rimapd
   to /usr/sbin/imapd ( this is the absolute path to imapd ). Is any 
   entry to be made in /etc/services and/or /etc/inetd.conf for rimapd.
   As of now there is no such entry. We are having SVR4 and SVR3
   machines.

B. PC-Pine ( for PCTCP ) is able to store and poll the imapd server 
   with the stored password in PINE.PWD file, but expects the password
   to be the same on all machines.

C. Is there any way PC-Pine can access Imapd servers on different 
   machines with differnt login ids with stored entries in PINE.PWD
   file. This PC-Pine is the executable directly downloaded from
   pine.cac.washington.edu

No, entries for rimapd are not required.  The best way to test rimapd is to
"rsh host /etc/rimapd".  Any problems are usually readily apparent...

Correct.

Not at this time.

I was tempted to answer this yesterday, but didn't dare since the answer
would have been yet another "It's fixed in 3.90" But now that 3.90 is out:
in 3.90 passwds are associated with specific hosts, and Pine will keep
track of more than one, both in memory and in the pine.pwd file.

Being able to associate a different login ID with different IMAP servers
is on the semi-short list for a future release.
