How To Enable Multiple HTTPS Sites For One IP On Debian Etch Using TLS Extensions

This how-to is Debian specific but could be ported to other

and recompile OpenSSL with the enable-tlsext directive.
Since TLS Extensions are relatively new, some internet browsers will
not work so the apache2 server will deliver just the default site as
http 1.0 does on an http 1.1 server.

How To Install courier-imap, courier-authlib, And maildrop On Fedora, RedHat, CentOS

How To Install courier-imap, courier-authlib, And maildrop On Fedora, RedHat, CentOS

For some reason there are no Courier packages (courier-imap, courier-authlib, maildrop)
available on RedHat-based distributions (RedHat, Fedora, CentOS), and
the only third-party repository that had such packages seems to have
closed (enlartenment.com). Therefore this
tutorial explains how you can create and install your own Courier rpm
packages from the sources, and I provide download links for my Courier
rpm packages that I compiled on Fedora 8 (i386) so that you can save
some time.
