kpop with old pop servers

2001-03-02 13:34:42
I'm trying to get kpop working with my university's kpop servers.  The
first problem I had was that the kerberos servers didn't like the mit
kerberos distribution, but that was eventually switched by changing to
the kth kerberos distribution.

Now the kerberos part of the authention seems to work.  However the pop
bit doesn't work.  I get this when I run with the --verbose option:

fetchmail: POP3< +OK UCB Pop server (version 1.7-CWRU) at rabbit
starting at Fri Mar  2 15:30:12 2001.
fetchmail: POP3> AUTH KERBEROS_V4
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR Unknown command: "auth".
fetchmail: could not decode initial BASE64 challenge
fetchmail: Authorization failure on 
msg2(_at_)rabbit(_dot_)INS(_dot_)CWRU(_dot_)EDU
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Pop server at rabbit signing off.
fetchmail: normal termination, status 3

Someone using an older version of fetchmail (5.1.0) had success and had
verbose output looking like this:

fetchmail: POP3< +OK UCB Pop server (version 1.7-CWRU) at rabbit
starting at Fri Feb 23 03:48:26 2001.
fetchmail: POP3> USER *
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Send dummy password for bgo.
fetchmail: POP3> PASS *
fetchmail: POP3< +OK bgo has 0 message(s) (0 octets).
fetchmail: POP3> STAT
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 0
fetchmail: No mail for bgo at rabbit.INS.cwru.edu
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Pop server at rabbit signing off.
fetchmail: normal termination, status 1

Is it possible to disable use of the AUTH command?

Indecision is the true basis for flexibility.
