Hi

Sorry for delay, I wasn't here for 2 weeks.

My original question was:

> I am trying to install and configure IMAP4 server for Solaris 2.5
>
> I already have a compiled imapd, and I put this in /etc/services:
>
> imap 143/tcp # IMAP
>
> and /etc/inetd.conf:
>
> imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/imapd imapd
>
> Then I created in /etc/init.d a script named imapd for starting and
> stopping it.
>
> But, when I try start this message is:
>
> " * OK host_name IMAP2bis Service 7.8(100) at Tue, 19 May 1998 16:03:36
> -0300 (EST)"
>
>
> but the daemon doesn't run. And I can't to connect by PC, because
> I still have no IMAP server.
>
> If I try to connect PC, the message is:
>
> "The current command did not succeed. The imap server responded:
>
> 1 BAD command unrecognized / Login please: CAPABILITY."

But I was making two mistakes:

1) I wasn't running the right version of IMAP. The right version could
be found at:

        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap.tar.Z

2) I didn't need to start the imapd at the boot time because the inetd
daemon will start the imap software automatically when traffic comes in
on port 143.
   And after installing and configuring this, I just need to do:

        kill -HUP <inetd_pid>
