Hi, all

I found a solution for the cyradm problem (cyrus-imapd-2.2.3) under Solaris 9.
I just ported some code from imclient.c of cyrus-imapd-2.0.17 into the new imclient.c. See the attached patch.

Now cyradm seems to work.

        [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cyradm --user imap localhost
        IMAP Password:

        localhost.tu-graz.ac.at> lm
        user.test (\HasChildren)
        [.....]

So far so good.... but
I have very limited C-programming skill so I don't know if I might have introduced some problems by doing this.

As far as I see the only files in which the modified function "imclient_connect" is used are the following:

        perl/IMAP/IMAP.c line 349
        netnews/remotepurge.c line 718

I'm not very happy with my solution, because there must have bee a reason for the developers to change the old code from cyrus-2.0.17 to the newer one. But for now it was the only way for me to solve the cyradm issue.
I would appreciate it very much if a developer of cyrus could make a comment on that. Or even provide a solution which will also work and be present in future releases.

Thanks
      Didi
