I hope this is the right newsgroup. I'm trying to look at the papers that come in the MH-6.6 distribution, but I'm having a hard time getting AmsTeX to run, etc. Would it be posible for someone to send me the dvi files for the papers? Also, while I'm at it: does anyone know anything about getting mh to run with the Kerberos authentication system? the POP-3 protocol? Any info will be appreciated. thanks. --david ascher ------------ da@cs.brown.edu (Internet) uunet!brunix!da (uucp) da@browncs.bitnet (bitnet) Box 3209, Brown University, Providence RI 02912 -- (1) (401) 863-4348 -- ------------ da@cs.brown.edu (Internet) uunet!brunix!da (uucp) da@browncs.bitnet (bitnet) Box 3209, Brown University, Providence RI 02912 -- (1) (401) 863-4348

What I got back was a tape and hardcopy of the man pages, but no hardcopy of the papers. I have sent a letter requesting the papers, but as I sent the letter less than 10 days ago, I don't expect to here from them for another week or so. If anyone is willing to help, I've got the TeX files, but can't get them out to the postscript printer.

If you can print postscript files, get the postscript copies of these files from ics.uci.edu. % ftp ics.uci.edu Name: ftp Password: anything ftp> cd mh/papers-ps ftp> bin ftp> mget * >Also, while I'm at it: does anyone know anything about getting mh to >run with the Kerberos authentication system? the POP-3 protocol? From the installation manual "...mh-6.7/READ-ME": options: POPSERVICE The port name the MH POP will use. For historical reasons, this defaults to "pop". The MH POP pro- tocol (POP version 3) has finally been assigned its own port number (110), which differs from the original POP (version 1) port number (109). To have MH POP use the new assigned port number, set POPSERVICE='"pop3"', and be sure that this service name is listed in your /etc/services file on both POP client and server hosts as "110/tcp". I don't know if it works though, we don't use MH's POP service. As for Kerberos, I haven't seen anything yet, but it would be nice to know if someone out there is working on it. ________________________________________________________________________ Eric W.

John went over that. I was going to say something, but my message bounced. >Also, while I'm at it: does anyone know anything about getting mh to >run with the Kerberos authentication system? the POP-3 protocol? >From the installation manual "...mh-6.7/READ-ME": options: POPSERVICE The port name the MH POP will use.

I don't know if it works though, we don't use MH's POP service here. As for Kerberos, I haven't seen anything yet, but it would be nice to know if someone out there is anyone working on it. Some applications which could probably benefit are bboards (better group security) and maybe POP (automatic authoization with a correct Kerberos ticket). Combined with zephyr (new command rcvzephyr or an improved rcvtty, or maybe a zmsgchk which works like an improved biff) and hesiod (?better alias support?), Kerberos could add some neat features (meant both ways ;-) to MH. ________________________________________________________________________ Eric W.

I don't know about Kerberos but we have MH 6.7 built here with POP enabled and it works fine. Came up first time. We have a couple of people on Macs who use Techmail (from MIT) to access their mail. We tried using POPmail but it doesn't use the POP protocol(!). Instead it uses some bastardised cross between SMTP and POP which is incompatible with both. Jim Reid <jim@computer-science.strathclyde.ac.uk> mentioned that he had some patches for POP support with MMDF-style mailboxes and to fix a bug with where the POP server would miss the last message in the mailbox. We don't run MMDF here so I don't whether his fixes worked; the last message bug was already fixed (i.e. wasn't present) in our 6.7 source. Our MH config is: version: MH 6.7 #7[UCI] (pta) of Mon Oct 15 12:14:46 EST 1990 options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [DPOP] [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [ISI] [LINK='"#"'] [MHE] [MHRC] [OVERHEAD] [RPATHS] [RPOP] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [TYPESIG='int'] [UK] [WHATNOW] [SENDMTS] [SMTP] [POP] [BPOP] [NNTP] Ben.
