NAME

8       FUD - provide information about user mailboxes
9

SYNOPSIS

11       fud [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       FUD  is  a long lived datagram daemon started from master that provides
15       information about when a user last read  their  mail,  when  mail  last
16       arrived  in a user's mailbox, and how many messages are recent for that
17       user.
18
19       Note that for FUD to  run  properly  you  must  set  proto=udp  in  its
20       cyrus.conf  services  entry.   prefork=1 is also recommended.  FUD will
21       automatically proxy any and all FUD requests to the appropriate backend
22       server if it is runing on a Cyrus Murder frontend machine.
23
24       FUD  reads  its  configuration  options  out  of the imapd.conf(5) file
25       unless specified otherwise by -C.
26

OPTIONS

28       -C config-file
29              Read configuration options from config-file.
30
31       -U uses
32              The maximum number of times that the process should be used  for
33              new connections before shutting down.  The default is 250.
34
35       -T timeout
36              The  number of seconds that the process will wait for a new con‐
37              nection before shutting down.  Note that a  value  of  0  (zero)
38              will disable the timeout.  The default is 60.
39
40       -D     Run external debugger specified in debug_command.
41

FILES

43       /etc/imapd.conf
44              Default configuration file.
45
46       /etc/cyrus.conf
47              Cyrus Master process configuration file.
48

BUGS

50       Though  not really a bug, FUD will silently ignore any requests that it
51       does not consider valid.
52
53       Also not really a bug, FUD requires that the anonymous user has  the  0
54       (zero)  right on the mailbox in question.  This is only a "bug" because
55       0 is not a standard IMAP ACL bit.
56
57       FUD is an experimental interface meant to provide information to  build
58       a  finger-like service around.  Eventually it should be superceded by a
59       more standards-based protocol.
