FUD - provide information about user mailboxes
fud [ -C config-file ]
FUD is a long lived datagram daemon started from master that provides information about when a user last read their mail, when mail last arrived in a user's mailbox, and how many messages are recent for that user.
Note that for FUD to run properly you must set proto=udp in its cyrus.conf services entry. prefork=1 is also rec- ommended. FUD will automatically proxy any and all FUD requests to the appropriate backend server if it is run- ing on a Cyrus Murder frontend machine.
FUD reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
-C config-file Read configuration options from config-file.
/etc/imapd.conf Default configuration file.
/etc/cyrus.conf Cyrus Master process configuration file.
Though not really a bug, FUD will silently ignore any requests that it does not consider valid.
FUD is an experimental interface meant to provide information to build a finger-like service around. Eventually it should be superceded by LDAP or ACAP (using the mailbox dataset).
