[9fans] upas/fs -f /imap/...

[erik quanstrom]

i'm trying to get upas/fs to read my imap mbox. after fixing this

; diff imap4.c /home/quanstro/new/plan9/src/cmd/upas/fs/imap4.c
434c434
< 		port = "imap";
---
> 		port = "imap4";

(i don't know if this qualifies as "fixing" but /etc/services didn't have 
an imap4 entry and the imap2 entry wasn't the port i was looking for.)

i ran into an authentication problem. it boils down to this:

<-7- Twrite tag 0 fid 1 offset 0 count 69 'start proto=pass service=imap server=mail.speakeasy.org user=qua'
-7-> Rwrite tag 0 count 69
<-7- Tread tag 0 fid 1 offset 69 count 4096
-7-> Rread tag 0 count 22 'error no role in attrs'

i.e. upas/fs isn't sending a "role". 

so the question is: do i modify factotum to accept no role or
do i modify upas/fs to send "role=client"?

Anything that lists or uses 'imap4' as a service name is broken, and  
the fix is to change the string to 'imap'.  (Some versions of /etc/ 
services might list 'imap4' as an alias for 'imap', although this  
behaviour is dubious at best.)

i didn't mean to offend. sorry. but i still think you're missing the point.
i can fix the code no problem. but that doesn't benefit anybody else.

the parent to my post says:

lucio@proxima.alt.za:

| /etc/services.  What platform is that?

which would contradict what you've just said.

i happen to agree with you. besides the iana list, neither fedora core 3
nor gentoo have imap4 listed in /etc/services.

sorry for the long delay. it took me a while to find something that
looked authoratative enough.

	http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

seems like the right standard. it does not define imap4 (but it does
define imap4-ssl).

ymmv.
