Description Need Real Name 2001-01-15 18:35:22 UTC

on a pentium 700Mhz
I install the package imap-2000-3 and xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1

I change the /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 to enable the service (disable = no)

I restart the xinetd process and the /var/log/message tells:

I have added a ligne in /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 ( protocol = tcp ) then it's OK

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-17 19:08:48 UTC

On a fresh install of 7.0 + updates, including the versions of xinetd
and imap you cite above, I am not able to replicate this problem at all.
I enabled ipop3 by changing disable to no, and then started xinetd.
pop3 works just fine for me.  No errors in syslog.
