qpopper messages

[ponetguy2]

I'm getting this message in my /var/adm/messages file over and over again.
This a our email/DNS server which I'm trying to get up and running. I would
like to stop these messages, but I don't know how.

I tried to edit syslog.conf, but I don't want to disable logging for
all daemon.notices.

FYI: I'm using qpopper for pop3.


Apr 25 11:33:45 hostname inetd[427]: [ID 317013 daemon.notice] pop3[681] from 192.168.1.11 3199

Add this to the bottom of your syslog.conf

!popper
*.*     /var/log/popper.log

Note: Must be split by a tab not spaces.

no dice mbrooks

Note: the 'popper' in this solution is the user you associated with the daemon.

Did you also restart syslogd after you made your changes?

this is the entry in my inetd.conf for qpopper:

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper qpopper

popper=root?

sorry, i'm still a newbie. i do appreciate your help in this problem.

If your popper.conf is locate in /etc use this

pop3s stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper qpopper -s -f /etc/popper.conf -t /var/log/popper.log -l 2

thanx mbrooks. i did almost exaclty as you instructed. i edited /etc/inetd.conf and did a pkill -HUP inetd and i still have thesame problem. here is the change i made in inted.conf:

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper qpopper -s -f /usr/local/etc/qpopper.conf -t /var/log/popper.log -l 2

i'm still getting the same log and then some:

Apr 25 16:28:03 hostname qpopper[655]: [ID 702911 local0.notice] Expected "set" or "reset", found "update-status-headers" at line 1 of config file /usr/local/etc/qpopper.conf

Apr 25 16:28:04 hostname inetd[427]: [ID 317013 daemon.notice] pop3[656] from 192.168.1.11 1363

Here is my uname -a output:

SunOS hostname 5.9 Generic_118558-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250

correction on my inetd.conf:

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper qpopper -s -f /usr/local/etc/qpopper.conf -t /var/adm/popper.log -l 2

Restart syslogd in verbose mode.
See what errors are being thrown.
