i can't do something like this:

a01 NO Error in IMAP command received by server.
(with or without 'Maildir' after /etc/rimapd)
but it works properly if i telnet to port 143 and login the same way.
Right. Two things are different:
1) You need to dump stderr. stderr is used for logging. You don't see
stderr on port 143 connection, because stderr gets dumped to syslog. If
you do an rsh, stderr then gets in with stdout.
i can presumably get rid of the errors by doing:
jazz [~]% ssh zugzug exec "/etc/rimapd 2> /dev/null Maildir"
* PREAUTH Ready.
presumably this will use the user's shell, so if the user has a
c-related shell, putting the '2> /dev/null' in the ssh-command won't
work; i guess i could do something to execute 'sh' first.....
2) As you can see, starting imapd this way will make it come up in
preauthenticated state. This is really pine's breakage. Pine should be
smart enough to pick off the server's * PREAUTH response, and forego
authentication.
is there a workaround of any sort for number 2?
uw-imapd also seems to come up pre-authenticated, so i'm not cclear what
the exact difference is here:
(courier)
jazz [~]% ssh zugzug exec "/etc/rimapd 2> /dev/null Maildir"
* PREAUTH Ready.
a01 select inbox
* FLAGS (\Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Recent)

a01 OK [READ-WRITE] Ok
(uw)
jazz [~]% ssh dot exec /etc/rimapd
* PREAUTH [0.0.0.0] IMAP4rev1 2000.281 at Mon, 10 Dec 2001 21:56:36

* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Seen)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\* \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Seen)]
* Permanent flags
a01 OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed
these seem pretty much the same, and yet i haven't been able to get it
to work on the courier machine.
has anyone gotten this to work successfully?
