FW: current version of James?
Morning all,
In the light of the appended mail, and other comments on the users list, I
think we need to make a new Milestone release of src & binary, I've built
and tested the dist from the HEAD of CVS on win & linux a few times over the
last few days and it seems to be stable, except for the jdk1.4 issue.
There seems to be no major changes to the code on-going at the moment, and
there are a number of bugs and enhancements in CVS since 2.0a1
I dont think it helps our cause, hell its worse its *embarassing*, that the
latest version available has a showstopping bug in POP, I'm frustrated that
I can't direct people to the James site and say "download the latest binary
and try it out".
James is a cool thing and I think we should make a few right moves now so we
can start to "sell" James to friends and collegues.
It would also be nice to see people starting to distribute 3rd party
Mailets, and Mailets to my mind are a killer feature of James lets not allow
anyone else the opportunity to develop a Mailet container that is preferable
to James, we know the ball is rolling, but to outsiders it may well appear
to have stalled.
I'd be happy to propose myself as release manager if that would help, and
carry out the following actions,
1/ prepare a release plan
2/ branch CVS
3/ coordinate bug fixing
4/ build the dist
what I can't do, no account on deadalus, is update the website, but if
no-one else wants to I can try and get one.

Yup, that's the problem. I played with it a little while and was just about
to mail a very similar patch out to the list. :-) When I printed the two
Strings to System.out intead of through the PrintWriter I saw a leading
space.
Your patch is fixes the login problem. Using the trim() works correctly.
Now, I still have the problem that the builtin Windows 2k telnet client and
other windows third party telnet clients not echoing my input back to me.

Its probably our old friend windows line endings v unix ones ..
there was an issue with v1 in this respect but I understood it had been
sorted, I know win2k telnet & telnet from linux and most emulators are OK
and that NT telnet wasn't I'm not sure about anything else.
I expect we may simply need to trim the input, could you try applying this
patch to your file and run your test again?

In the file remotemanager/RemoteManagerHandler.java on line 136 of the
latest cvs source I added the lines,
out.println("Typed Password is: *"+password.toString()+"*");
out.println("Correct Password is *"+admaccount.get(login).toString()+"*");
out.println(password.equals(admaccount.get(login)));
With some telnet clients I get the correct output of ...
Typed Password is : *password*
Correct Password is: *password*
true
With other telnet clients I get...
Typed Password is : *password*
Correct Password is: *password*
false
I believe this is the reason some people and myself have been having
problems with loggin into the Remote Manager, however I don't get what is
going on.

+1 to all thoughts. I have no time to remove the egg on my face (which is
getting quite smelly at this point), and would appreciate it if you could do
so. Hopefully later this month I can start contributing again.
