FUD − provide information about user mailboxes |
|
fud [ −C config-file ] [ −U uses ] [ −T timeout ] [ −D ] |
|
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. |
|
−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. |
|
/etc/imapd.conf |
|
Default configuration file. |
|
/etc/cyrus.conf |
|
Cyrus Master process configuration file. |

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 Eventually it should be superceded by LDAP or ACAP (using the mailbox dataset). |
