Matt, First of all, you're not supposed to run it from the shell.=20 Try=20 telnet localhost 106 to see if you have poppassd enabled to run on the localhost. This MUST = work at the very least. If it's not on the localhost, you'll have to = change the plugin settings to reflect the correct hosts.

Thank you Ritchie; that was useful , BUT now ,i am completely confused. I created a new file named poppassd in /etc/xinetd.d/ and I configurated it . But there is a problem here when I got my server = /usr/sbin/tcpd poppassd (poppassd is in my path) i cannot telnet in port 106 at all. and when i had got it server= /usr/sbin/poppassd i could telnet in this port but it was closed simontaneusely and i didnot see any message or something else related to poppassd and also i could not change my password. any idea? yours, |

According to the poppassd man page (at least on my machine), you will need this line (or similar) in /etc/inetd.conf poppassd stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/poppassd poppassd Then you will need this line in /etc/services poppassd 106/tcp Then you will need to kill -HUP the inetd server (usually "killall -HUP inetd" will work). That should be it. I can't be of further help, since I just installed the Debian package and it works blissfully. -- Tyler Akins ty...@bo... |
