[suse-security] IMAP and 8.2

["Vaclav Brunnhofer" <vbru@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Being prevented here in this group that the support for 7.2 would finish in 
the near future (see another thread), I have purchased and upgraded to 
8.2.

So far, almost everything is working as expected, expect for IMAP (the 
same case would be POP3, if I would not use qpopper).
In the mean time, I have found information that the IMAP rpm, shipped 
with 8.2 (IMAP 2002)  is a major release, enabling to disable fulltext 
passwords for identification. Apparently the rpm shipped with 8.2 is 
compiled with this in mind. So far it is good, but I cannot find any 
information, how to make it work. I have found that it is necessary to use 
starttls - a ssl based authentification. 

Just I cannot find (may be I am using incorrect queries in google) how to 
setup the IMAP server - I have found how to configure the clients, how to 
compile IMAP for disabling authetification by plaintext passwords, but I 
am missing information, how to configure inetd (or even xinetd) to work 
with this imap daemon. The same applies for ipop3, just I have installec 
qpopper and this works fine.

SuSE installation support claims it is beyond the scope of installation 
support.

Does anyone know how to make the imap over startls or ssl work?
Thanks a lot
