fud - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
FUD - provide information about user mailboxes
SYNOPSIS
fud [
-C config-file ]
[
-U uses ]
[
-T timeout ]
[
-D ]
DESCRIPTION
FUD is a long lived datagram daemon started from master that provides
information about when a user last
read their mail, when mail last arrived in a users 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
Tag | Description |
-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 | |

|
/etc/cyrus.conf | |

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 Eventually it should be superceded by a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.
