version of the files.
MSGSTORESHR.EXE then needs to be installed with the command:
$ INSTALL REPLACE PMDF_MSGSTORE_LIBRARY
on all members of the OpenVMS cluster running out of the affected PMDF
directory tree.
Be sure to restart the dispatcher:
$ PMDF RESTART DISPATCHER
Unix

the following commands:
# chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libmsgstore.so
# chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libmsgstore.so
Place the new servers in the /pmdf/bin/ directory and issue
the following commands:
# chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/imap_server
# chmod 755 /pmdf/bin/imap_server
# chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/pop_server
