FUD(8)FUD(8)NAMEFUD - provide information about user mailboxes
SYNOPSIS
fud [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]
DESCRIPTIONFUD 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 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 rec-
ommended. 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 informa-
tion to build a finger-like service around. Eventually it
should be superceded by LDAP or ACAP (using the mailbox
dataset).
