32 This document describes the vmailmgr package which contains, among other |
|
33 things, a virtualizing password checking interface for qmail-pop3d. It is |
|
34 intended as a drop-in replacement for the standard checkpassword utility |
|
35 with several significant enhancements. |
|
36 |
|
37 <P> |
|
38 One of the goals of building this package was to provide a usable virtual |
|
39 mail interface that was efficient and as fully integrated into qmail as |
|
40 possible. This means that this package attempts to use the same control |
|
41 files that qmail uses to determine if a user is logging in via a virtual |
|
42 host. It also implies that all programs should be compiled for two reasons: |

46 <P> |
|
47 Compiled code will be more efficient than code executed by an interpreter, |
|
48 such as perl or java |
|
49 |
|
50 <LI> |
|
51 <P> |
|
52 There is no need for an interpreter to reside on the system once the code |
|
53 is compiled, eliminating concerns that such an interpreter could be used as |
|
54 an exploit in itself. |
