Description Robert Fantini 2004-09-28 08:11:25 UTC

I'd like to have pine store passwords.

 I tried adding the following line to /etc/portage/package.use thinking it would allow password storage:
mail-client/pine passfile

here part of output when emerged pine:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] mail-client/pine-4.61-r2 [4.60] -debug -kerberos +ldap +pam
+passfile +ssl  3,107 kB

 but the password was still needed.

here is a link to a solution:
http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/2002.10/msg00021.html

 I currently use my own compiled pine with 
os-lnx.h:#define        PASSFILE        ".pine.pwd"
 and paswords are stored.
 note that [afaik] the file .pine.pwd must exist before pine will attempt to store a password. so my user account creation scripts include a   > .pine.pwd .

 

Reproducible: Always

This feature is already in pine, you just need to enable passfile USE flag.
