60 | .SH "DEBATHENA CUSTOMIZATIONS" |
---|
61 | .nr step 1 1 |
---|
62 | When |
---|
63 | .B evolution |
---|
64 | starts, it performs several Debathena-specific actions: |
---|
65 | .IP \n[step]. 3 |
---|
66 | If Evolution has never been run before (or the |
---|
67 | .I ~/.evolution |
---|
68 | directory is missing), |
---|
69 | .B evolution |
---|
70 | creates |
---|
71 | .I ~/.evolution |
---|
72 | and sets its AFS permissions to be listable only by the current user |
---|
73 | (system:anyuser none). |
---|
74 | .IP \n+[step]. |
---|
75 | .B evolution |
---|
76 | examines the user's mail server to determine if the user uses Exchange or IMAP. |
---|
77 | If the latter, |
---|
78 | .B evolution |
---|
79 | sets Evolution to use GSSAPI to authenticate with Kerberos. |
---|
80 | .IP \n+[step]. |
---|
81 | If the user still has an Athena 9 style mail server hostname set, |
---|
82 | .B evolution |
---|
83 | adds the user's new style mail server hostname to his or her Evolution profile. |
---|
84 | .RB ( evolution |
---|
85 | keeps the old server settings as a backup.) |
---|
86 | .B evolution |
---|
87 | also mutates the user's Evolution folder tree to refer to the new style server |
---|
88 | hostname. |
---|
89 | |
---|
90 | If the user does not have an Athena 9 style mail server hostname set, |
---|
91 | .B evolution |
---|
92 | sets up Evolution to use GSSAPI to authenticate the user to outgoing.mit.edu, |
---|
93 | and it creates an initial Evolution folder tree for the user. |
---|
94 | .PP |
---|
95 | After it performs these actions, |
---|
96 | .B evolution |
---|
97 | starts Evolution. |
