Any reason to remove the p9cr auth method from imap4d?
I'm about to put it back (just convenient for me).

It can be used w/ netscape to read the mail from windows/linux.
At least, that's what I used to do.

I'm willing to try tls, but my ignorance (big regarding security issues)
doesn't let me know how to connect using tls. My current problem is that
tlssrv seems to require a certificate and I don't know how to generate that
file. sic.
Any pointer?
I've been reading tls stuff in the web, but it seems that I need a program
that generates a self-certificate. Is there such a program in Plan 9?

thanks a lot in any case.

We removed it because it was only
used half the time (in unencrypted mode),
was confusing, and we didn't know
any clients that it could be used with.

The TLS support seemed much more
widespread.  Why not use TLS?
