All the configuration files required for each software described in this book has been provided by us as a gzipped file, floppy.tgz for your convenience. This can be downloaded from this web address: http://www.openna.com/books/floppy.tgz
You can unpack this to any location on your local machine, say for example /tmp, assuming you have done this your directory structure will be /tmp/floppy. Within this floppy directory each configuration file has its own directory
for respective software. For example IMAP/POP configuration file are organised like this:
total 8
-rwx------ 1 harrypotter harrypotter 685 Jun 8 13:00 imap.sh*
drwxr-xr-x 2 harrypotter harrypotter 4096 Jun 8 13:00 pam.d/
You can either cut and paste this directly if you are faithfully following our instructions from the begining or manually edit these to modify to your needs.
