> How can I run imaps with sslwrap on FreeBSD? I use inetd on Solaris:

Syntax is the same - everything after the "root" is the command to run -
on solaris, it happens to run the service imap daemon via tcpd which
probablly implements tcp wrappers and otherwise just passes data across
transparently.  On freebsd, the config is essentially the same, you just
have to get the command right.

A possibly much better solution is to just use courier-imap in
/usr/ports/mail.  Courier-imap is a more robust, more secure, more
featureful imap daemon, and it speaks ssl natively - no need to use
sslwrap.  The only barrier to using courier-imap is that the mailspools
must be maildirs instead of traditional mbox's.

 that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
 were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
