The rehash script replaces and supercedes the dohash, mkimap, and undohash scripts. It can be used on a fresh installation to create either type of hashing, or can be used to convert an existing installation to another type. Essentially, it reviews the existing directory structure, adding what is missing, and converting what needs to be converted. > If it is only an upgrade, we should work on making it available on a > fresh installation.

Here's a piece of what I submitted originally: The `rehash' perl script converts the Cyrus directory structure between three hash schemes: none, basic, and full. `none' means no directory hashing at all. `basic' is the current scheme, based on the first letter. `full' is the new hashing scheme. This perl script replaces several of the other perl scripts in the tools directory: dohash, mkimap, and undohash, but not upgradesieve. The name of the new hash scheme must be specified as one of its command-line arguments. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking-
