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.

| Imap4 is the same port as imap, unlike imap2.  You need to fix

The service name is 'imap' listening on port 143.

uh, if you'd read the thread, you'd understand that you've made my
point for me.

Smartass.  Your message was phrased such that it looked like you were  
still asking for confirmation.  I apologize for trying to lend  
assistance to an apparent request for some.

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.

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.)

Sheesh.  The only reason that upas/fs uses
"imap4" is that that's what the Plan 9 network database
calls it.  You seem to be in violent agreement about
something that is utterly inconsequential.

I changed the requested port to "imap" for the plan9port
upas/fs, and I also added role=client to the various
password requests.

Enjoy!

[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"?
