Qpopper.. i'm confused :}

[roeiboot]

oi,

well.. i re-installed Qpopper and followed the instructions exactly as described in the doc.. some things.

1. i don't have a inetd.conf file, so i used the xinetd.conf (i use RedHat 7.1, Seawolf)
2. do i also need to add the "pop3 stream....." line in the /etc/services file as stated in the doc, aint that double ?
3. i tried to telnet into it, no luck.. connection refused.

restarted xinetd multiple times (with "service xinetd restart kill -HUP inetpid but never do i see Qpopper if i check with "ps -ef"

please help if you can.... i feel i'm close to the solution :}
THANKS.!!!!

If you still want to use qpopper, here's some instructions that I wrote on it awhile back.




Installing qpopper

tar zxvf qpopper4.0.4.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src
cd qpopper4.0.4
./configure --enable-specialauth
# specialauth enables shadow passwords.
make
# copy the popper executable anywhere you want, below is the default
cp popper/popper /usr/sbin/
chmod 700 /usr/sbin/popper

# optional…
make clean
make realclean


Configuring qpopper to use xinetd

Create the /etc/xinetd.d/popper file and put this in it…

service pop3
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/popper
log_on_failure += USERID
}

…and restart xinetd with "/sbin/service xinetd restart"
