Access or Download Pine

Pine has been released to the UNIX environment for Andrew and Andrew Linux workstations.

Pine Authentication

Pine version 4.55 requires Kerberos 5 authentication. Download and install the SSH Secure Shell utility from the My Andrew site. Use the SSH application to establish connections to Solaris and Linux servers when running Pine.

Starting Pine

In order to use Pine, you must have a Cyrus Mail account.

Follow these steps to launch Pine on UNIX:

  1. As described in the previous section, launch SSH Secure Shell to establish connections to the Solaris and/or Linux servers.
  2. At a system prompt, type pine then press Enter.
    The Pine Main Menu appears.

    Note: The first time you launch Pine you are asked if you would like to have an "About Pine" document mailed to you. If you want the document, type Y . If you don't, type N.

Configuring Pine

Pine has already been configured for use on UNIX systems, but you may follow these steps to change certain configuration variables.

  1. At the Main Menu, press S.
    The toolbar commands change.
  2. Press the letter of the setup task you would like.
    Note: Only C (Configuration) and S (Signature) are valid in our environment.
  3. Use the toolbar commands to edit the configuration files and to save your changes.
