I wonder.....

Is it possible to have two imapd programs, one which requires
authentication and one that does not.

use tcdp to decide if it's from the local machine then run the
imapd that requires no authentication, other wise run the
imapd that does require it.

This way a local user wouldn't need to enter a password?

Is the password prompt controlled by imapd or does pine always
ask for it?

After sending this, I realized that tcpd might not work
since there is only one option for running (once successfully
through the wrapper), if you placed the imapd in the
rejection area (/etc/hosts.deny or /etc/hosts.allow) then
it probably wouldn't run correctly? 

I realize this part is off topic, but can tcpd (wrappers) be
setup to run either of two options depending on success/failure?
