In your case is xinetd. In the file you sent me there is a reference to /etc/xinetd.d . Look in that directory for a reference to pop3d. BTW: How did you install pop3? Have you compiled it yourself, or have you installed a package? Do you have a firewall on that machine? florin -- "If it's not broken, let's fix it till it is." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
