30 Chapter 4 POP3/IMAP4 POP3 and IMAP4 are the Post Office Protocols used by the e-mail function embedded in Netscape Communicator on the terminal. If you are using the e-mail function to send and read e-mail, you may need to configure a POP3 or IMAP4 server to manage the e-mail. The e-mail user can also communicate with an individual's ISP account (if configured for POP3) to view that user's e-mail. Every user may need an individual account on the POP3/IMAP4 server. For instructions, refer to the server configuration documentation for the particular POP3/IMAP4 server being used. Incoming e-mail is stored on the POP3 server until explicitly deleted. The system administrator may need to periodically remind users to delete unnecessary mail in order to reclaim space for normal operations. ICA ICA is the protocol used by the terminal to connect to servers running the Microsoft Windows Terminal (WTS) software and the Citrix Corporation MetaFrame software. ICA allows the terminals to run Windows applications remotely on the respective servers. If you are going to use the ICA client, you need to configure one or more servers running these services. To do this, refer to the documentation from Microsoft or Citrix. If you choose to use a remote browser via ICA, it too must be configured via the Browser Location dialog box (see Chapter 5 of this document). RSH (X Manager) RSH is a network protocol in a UNIX environment. It stands for Remote Shell. From the server side, RSH is typically accessed via an RSH daemon (such as rshd on Linux) that is enabled in inetd.conf. RSH provides the ability for one terminal or computer to execute programs that reside on another computer. Note Throughout this (RSH) section, references to inetd.conf refer to /etc/inetd.conf on Linux and Openserver, and to /etc/inet/inetd.conf on UnixWare.

Chapter 4
POP3/IMAP4
POP3 and IMAP4 are the Post Office Protocols used by the e-mail function
embedded in Netscape Communicator on the terminal. If you are using the e-mail
function to send and read e-mail, you may need to configure a POP3 or IMAP4
server to manage the e-mail. The e-mail user can also communicate with an
individual’s ISP account (if configured for POP3) to view that user’s e-mail. Every
user may need an individual account on the POP3/IMAP4 server. For instructions,
refer to the server configuration documentation for the particular POP3/IMAP4
server being used.
Incoming e-mail is stored on the POP3 server until explicitly deleted. The system
administrator may need to periodically remind users to delete unnecessary mail in
order to reclaim space for normal operations.
ICA
ICA is the protocol used by the terminal to connect to servers running the Microsoft
Windows Terminal (WTS) software and the Citrix Corporation MetaFrame software.
ICA allows the terminals to run Windows applications remotely on the respective
servers. If you are going to use the ICA client, you need to configure one or more
servers running these services. To do this, refer to the documentation from
Microsoft or Citrix. If you choose to use a remote browser via ICA, it too must be
configured via the
Browser
Location
dialog box (see Chapter 5 of this document).
RSH (X Manager)
RSH is a network protocol in a UNIX environment. It stands for Remote Shell. From
the server side, RSH is typically accessed via an RSH daemon (such as
rshd
on
Linux) that is enabled in
inetd.conf
. RSH provides the ability for one terminal or
computer to execute programs that reside on another computer.
Note
Throughout this (RSH) section, references to
inetd.conf
refer to
/etc/inetd.conf
on Linux
and Openserver, and to
/etc/inet/inetd.conf
on
UnixWare.
