8/13 Read your Soda mail on the web: http://dev1.bnet.org/imp
No warranties, but you can mail me w/ questions/comments.
IMP does this semi-securely(?) using IMAPS (port 993). -abe
\_ so wait, it uses imap-ssl but you suggest we login via
plain text http? brilliant. why not just use something
like http://www.mail2web.com instead?
\_ who would trust your site anyway? if people want something like
\_ and to connect to it over straight http...
this, csua should just install squirrelmail or something.
\_ Which could very easily be used to gather passwords. Come on,
people... SSH tunnels and IMAPS are really not that hard to set up.
--scotsman
\_ Not that easy if you are on some webterminal while on vacation.
\_ I found that going to the putty download page and running
from there often worked to ssh in.
\_ Of course I could easily use it to gather passwords. CSUA *should*
install something like IMP (or squirrelmail, or whatever), but they
haven't, so this is an alternative. of course, you have to trust
me and my server (which I probably wouldn't). -op
\_ not for "you" to gather passwords. for a man-in-the-middle
between you and the hapless user. --scotsman
\_ I guess it's about like http://csua.org/u but it's a potential
security/privacy hazard. So, if I may speak for the motd,
we thank you but respectfully decline.
\_ Um. It's nothing like http://csua.org/u the url shortener doesn't
have anything to do with your login on soda. and it doesn't
\_ um. the reading comprehension thing again. -not 2 up
open you up to having your account nabbed by a sniffer.
Again I say come on... --scotsman
\_ um. the reading comprehension thing again. -not 2 up
\_ Wow that's great! It uses my MSPassPort(c), right? I use my
MSPassPort(c) for everything! But if you're not MSPassPort(c)
compatible your site will never grow!
\_ guys, come on. It's a PROOF OF CONCEPT. Give the guy a break.
Change your password and give it a try, then change it back.
If it's cool maybe we could sign a petition to install similar
stuff on trusted CSUA machines. Now if only we could petition
a Recall on Poliburo, that'd be even better.
\_ arnie for csua president!
\_ Why would you trust a CSUA machine?
\_ I trust any CSUA Linux/BSD machine over any corrupt and
disfunctional CSUA Poliburo any time.
\_ it is a nice program, thank you!! |
