NAME

       ppserver - manual page for Parallel Python Network Server

SYNOPSIS

       ppserver [-hda] [-i interface] [-b broadcast] [-p port] [-w nworkers] [-s secret] [-t seconds]

DESCRIPTION

       Parallel Python Network Server

OPTIONS

       -h     this help message

       -d     debug

       -a     enable auto-discovery service

       -r     restart worker process after each task completion

       -n <proto>
	      protocol number for pickle module

       -c <path>
	      path to config file

       -i <interface>
	      interface to listen

       -b <broadcast>
	      broadcast address for auto-discovery service

       -p <port>
	      port to listen

       -w <nworkers>
	      number of workers to start

       -s <secret>
	      secret for authentication

       -t <seconds>
	      timeout to exit if no connections with clients exist

       -k <seconds>
	      socket  timeout  in seconds which is also the maximum time a remote job could be executed. Increase this value if you have long run-
	      ning jobs or decrease if connectivity to remote ppservers is often lost.

SECURITY

       Due to the security concerns it is highly recommended to run ppserver.py with an non-trivial secret key (-s command  line  argument)  which
       should  be  paired  with the matching secret keyword of PP Server class constructor. An alternative way to set a secret key is by assigning
       pp_secret variable in the configuration file .pythonrc.py which should be located in the user home directory (please make this  file  read-
       able  and  writable  only  by user).  The secret key set in .pythonrc.py could be overridden by command line argument (for ppserver.py) and
       secret keyword (for PP Server class constructor).

NAME

       dot-spop3d - user configuration data for The Solid POP3 Server.

DESCRIPTION

       A user can specify their maildrop location, type and associated APOP secret in the configuration file ~/.spop3d.

       The file must be set to mode 0600 (-rw-------) or the server will not honour its content.

       Maildrop specification consists of three parts, separated by white space characters:

       MailDrop path type

       Path should be specified in the same format as the -n option in solid-pop3d(8).	Type should be mailbox or maildir.

       APOP  secret  specification consists of the word APOPSecret followed by an encrypted secret. You shouldn't change this secret manually. Use
       pop_auth(1) to do this.

       Both maildrop and APOP secret specifications may optionally be followed by a  mailbox  name.  This  allows,  for  instance,  user+boxA  and
       user+boxB  to  be  used	as  login  names  to  access different mailboxes, where + means value of UserMailDropDelimiter server setting (see
       spop3d.conf(5)).

       The APOP secret associated with a particular maildrop should be followed with the same mailbox name (or lack  thereof).	If  no	secret	is
       specified for a maildrop then the user's standard POP password should be used to authenticate instead.

EXAMPLE

	      MailDrop	     Mail/default   mailbox
	      APOPSecret     2345678901
	      MailDrop	     Mail/bugtraq   mailbox bugtraq
	      APOPSecret     0123456789     bugtraq
	      MailDrop	     Mail/private   mailbox private
	      APOPSecret     9876543210     private

       To set the APOP secret for the above maildrops use the following pop_auth(1) commands:
	      pop_auth
	      pop_auth bugtraq
	      pop_auth private

FILES

       ~/.spop3d
	      User configuration file.
