- This is popper version 1.831beta with some simple modifications to allow it to
- compile under Linux. I also added support for shadow passwords and the MMDF
- mail system. If anything breaks, don't complain to the authors--it's my fault.
-
- Since some of the resolver code changed in libc-4.6.27, it probably won't
- compile using older libs (I used libc-4.6.27 with gcc-2.6.3). It shouldn't be
- too difficult to fix if you want to have a go at it, tho.
-
- I included the diffs for my changes against the original sources, which can be
- had at ftp.cc.berkeley.edu in /pub. You should just be able to type `make', but
- most people will want to tweak the CFLAGS in the Makefile, since mine are a
- little indulgent. If it compiles with no errors, type `make install' to put
- things in their place.
-
- After everything is where it should be, you will want to add a couple of lines
- to the /etc/inetd.conf file:
-
- pop-2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.popper
- pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.popper
-
- ... and to the /etc/services file (if they aren't already there):
-
- pop-2 109/tcp
- pop-3 110/tcp
-
- ... and to the syslog.conf:
-
- local0.notice;local0.debug /usr/adm/POPlog
-
- Then kill and restart the syslogd and send the inetd a HUP signal, like so:
-
- kill -HUP `ps ax| fgrep inetd| fgrep -v fgrep |cut -d\ -f1`
-
- (or just type `ps', look for the PID, and type `kill -HUP <PID#>' ;-).
-
- and you're ready to go.
