You can do this by simply running: + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- +/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +And you can start talking IMAP via stdin/stdout. This doesn't change process's +UID, GID, or get any userdb settings. If you want to emulate a full regular +login, you can execute + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- +/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap -u username +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Of course, you may need to run the above command as root if it needs to change +process's uid/gid. + +(This file was created from the wiki on 2019-06-19 12:42) |
