From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030922 Description of problem: In section 12.5.1.2 (securing email client communications), I see 2 mistakes. First, to create a self-signed certificate, you instruct the reader to cd to /usr/share/ssl/certs/ and run make imapd.pem. This is good, except that rpm installs an imapd.pem file by default, which must be removed first (otherwise 'make' reports that all is up to date.) Second, once the certificate has been created you instruct the reader to run /sbin/services with the imaps option. But this does not work, because there is no imaps script in /etc/init.d. The correct option is to edit the imaps file in /etc/xinetd.d/imaps file so that the value of the 'disable' field is set to no instead of yes. Even though I am reporting a bug, finding the workaround wasn't bad and my mail server has been up and running in record time. Keep up the good work and keep fixing all these little details!! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel-rg(EN)-3-HTML-RHI (2003-07-25T17:13) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.type 'make imapd.pem' in /usr/share/ssl/certs/ and watch it reply that imapd.pem is up to date. 2. type '/sbin/services imaps' and watch it respond that imaps is an unknown service. 3. Actual Results: 1. 'imapd.pem' is up to date 2. imaps: unknown service Expected Results: 1. "How are you today?" (Just kidding -- I expected a few questions like name, company, domain name, address etc.) 2. command prompt with no errors Additional info:
