|
30 This document is targeted for \masqmail\ users and for people interested in mail systems in general.
|
|
meillo@136
|
31 Security problems in electronic mail, \unix\ and the C programming language will also be discussed.
|
|
meillo@47
|
32 Additional ones planning to take over an unmaintained software project will find real life experience in here.
|
|
meillo@33
|

|
|
meillo@47
|
34 In each topic, basic knowledge is preconditioned.
|
|
meillo@47
|
35 Nevertheless introductions are given and sources for further reading will be mentioned.
|

37 This work focuses on the \unix\ operating system.
|
|
meillo@47
|
38 Experience in usage, administration and program development is assumed.
|
|
meillo@316
|
39 This includes the basic tool chain (e.g.\ \name{tar}, \name{grep}, etc.), user, file and permission management, as well as writing, compiling and installing programs written in the C language.
|
|
meillo@33
|

|
|
meillo@210
|
41 General information about \unix\ can be found in \cite{kernighan84} %FIXME: references
|
|
meillo@33
|
42 . %FIXME: references
|
|
meillo@47
|
43 explain about administrating \unix.
|
|
meillo@210
|
44 And developing programs in C may be learned from \cite{k&r} and \cite{rochkind85}. %FIXME: references

58 The following typographic conventions are used in this thesis:

|
59
|
|
meillo@304
|
60 \begin{enumerate}
|
|
meillo@316
|
61 \item \emph{Italic shape} is used to emphasize text, to introduce new terms, and for names, including product, host, and user names, as well as email addresses.
|
|
meillo@150
|
62
|
|
meillo@304
|
63 \item For names of persons \textsc{Small Caps} are used.
|
|
meillo@304
|
64
|
|
meillo@316
|
65 \item File and path names, source code excerpts, contents of files, and output from programs are displayed in \texttt{Typewriter font}.
|
|
meillo@304
|
66 \end{enumerate}
|
|
meillo@150
|
67
|
|
meillo@302

68 References to external resources are marked using one of three styles, distinguished by the type of resource.

70 \begin{enumerate}
|
|
meillo@316
|
71 \item References to books, articles, and similar documents looks like this: \cite{kernighan84}. The letters represent the author(s) (here \person{Kernighan} and \person{Pike}), the number represents the year of publication (here 1984).
|
|
meillo@150
|
72
|
|
meillo@302

73 \item Websites differ from documents as they are less of a text written by some author but more a place where information is gathered. They are only indicated by numbers, like for example: \citeweb{masqmail:homepage}.
|
|
meillo@210
|
74
|
|
meillo@302
|
75 \item \name{Request for Comments}---documents that define Internet standards---are referenced in a third way, by specifying the unique number of the \RFC\ directly: \RFC821.
