NAME

6       FUD - provide information about user mailboxes
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fud [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]
10

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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

FILES

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

BUGS

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  Eventually it should be superceded by a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