1/30    Let's say I want to run an IMAP server from my BSD box at home, but
        I want something like SSL, Kerberos (or ???) for better security.
        Any suggestions/tips on what software to choose? What is easier to
        set up or better to use?  Thanks.
        \_ Use UW IMAP server and sslwrap or stunnel.  All of the parts are
           in ports, you just have to put them together.  --dbushong
        \_ ssh port forwarding
        \_ Depends on what you are trying to be interoperable with. If you
           decide what OS etc. both ends are running, look at IPsec. It is
           out for NetBSD, comes with OpenBSD, and you can probably find it
           for Free. Otherwise you are probably trying to work with some
           windows or other client, so, yeah, SSL....
           \_ Depending on what OS you're using on the client side, you
              may not necessarily want to muck with IPsec yet, since, while
              most implementations if it work, they don't necessarily work
              with each other.  If getting your mail is just one of the
              things you'd like to do in relative security over the net,
              you should think about ssh port forwarding, like motd clone
              #2 above recommends.  -John
