FUD
is a long lived datagram daemon started from cyrmaster that provides
information about when a user last
read their mail, when mail last arrived in a user's mailbox, and how
many messages are recent for that user.
Note that for
FUD
to run properly you must set proto=udp in its cyrus.conf
services entry. prefork=1 is also recommended.
FUD
will automatically proxy any and all FUD requests to the appropriate
backend server if it is runing on a Cyrus Murder frontend machine.
FUD
reads its configuration options out of the
imapd.conf(5)
file unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS
-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-U uses
The maximum number of times that the process should be used for new
connections before shutting down. The default is 250.
-T timeout
The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new connection
before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero) will disable the
timeout. The default is 60.
-D
Run external debugger specified in debug_command.
FILES
/etc/imapd.conf
Default configuration file.
/etc/cyrus.conf
Cyrus Master process configuration file.
BUGS
Though not really a bug,
FUD
will silently ignore any requests that it does not consider valid.
Also not really a bug,
FUD
requires that the anonymous user has the 0 (zero) right on the mailbox
in question. This is only a "bug" because 0 is not a standard IMAP ACL bit.
FUD
is an experimental interface meant to provide information to build a
finger-like service around. Eventually it should be superceded by a
more standards-based protocol.
