Re: Integrating IMP with Webmin/Usermin (was Re: maildir)

Hi,

Well, if you really want to integrate Horde/IMP, you should start by
compiling PHP as a CGI and try to run a simple script under webmin.

For example index.cgi:
- ---CUT----
#!/path/to/php/binary
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
- ---CUT----
then chmod +x index.cgi

Once you have PHP working with webmin, it shouldn't be hard to modify
Horde's auth system to use the current user info.

You should read the module authoring docs and spend some time doing
some tests.

Then, you could contribute the new module ;)
