Subject: popd for sco....

Hi,

	This is pine related.....sort of....

	We are working on a project in China and need a popd that runs
on SCO Unix.  The person working on the project saying:

I next got the ipopd package which comes with pine (imapd-3.6-beta from
ftp.cac.washington.edu). This package is comprehensive (3.5 MB of source) and
has a makefile entry for sco.

Unfortunately, it seems to be missing a crypt library required for passwords.
Also, its pop-2 daemon doesn't recognize VistaMAIL's USER message. Is this
right? My understanding was that VistaMAIL is pop-2.

	So, does anyone have a compiled popd for SCO?  Or, I believe
there is an International replacement for the SCO crypt library.

	Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	Thanks....

		Ed

Your problem comes from the fact that SCO does not ship ANY type of crypt
library with their system, because they do not known in advance if the 
software will be sold inside the U.S.A. or outside of it.

So, as I understand it, you'll have to ask them for this library and
depending on your whereabouts you will get either the U.S. domestic version
(including the DES decrypt calls) or the International version (crypt only).
Unfortunately, you'll only notice the missing crypt libraries at the 
moment you want to compile an important piece of software, right?

I wonder why SCO cannot ALWAYS ship an International crypt-only library and
allow U.S. customers to upgrade to the full-blown version. Is that also 
against U.S. Government policies?

Actually, there IS a complete popd package for SCO (installable with 
custom and everything). It can be found on ftp.sco.com in the TLS 
directory. Look for files beginning with tls049*. If you cannot get to these
files I can mail you a copy.

Keep in mind that this is a regular POP3 server and that is has nothing 
to do with IMAP (though that didn't seem to be what you were asking for).

I hope that this will do it ;-)

	Thanks for all the wonderful information!  Now the only problem
is I stupidly forgot to mention that I need a pop2 server.  :-( :-(

	I hope my only recourse is *not* to attempt to get the crypt
library for the machine in China.  Who knows how long that could take?
Besides, its China.....license, license?  :-)
