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: jan 15 17:32:34 keo xinetd: xinetd shutdown succeeded Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: chargen disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: time disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: time disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: tftp disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: chargen-udp disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: talk disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: daytime disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: daytime-udp disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: exec disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: pop3s disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: ntalk disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: echo disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: echo-udp disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: pop2 disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: imaps disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: imap disabled, removing Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: finger disabled, removing ********************HERE************************************************ Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: socket creation failed (Protocol not supported (errno = 93)). service = pop3 ************************************************************************ Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: xinetd Version 2.1.8.9pre11 started with Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: libwrap Jan 15 17:32:38 keo xinetd[1043]: options compiled in.

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