Subject: simple imapd question

Hello, all-

I followed he instructions for installing imapd (made the appropriate
entries in /etc/services and /etc/inetd); I'm assuming this only needed 
to be done on the server side...

from pine (v. 3.89) I get "connection refused" when trying to access a 
remote INBOX. Am I missing something? This is on SunOS 4.1.3 for  the server.

Any help greatly appreciated!

	Did you send a SIGHUP to your inetd process, or reboot your machine,
so that it will recognize the changes you made to the files?

Yes, actually, I did both. I recently set up a http server (but that was
in standalone mode, not through inetd). Is it possible to run imapd in
a "standalone" mode? What other items  to look for? 

Thanks.

Did you restart inetd (kill -HUP)?

Oops, I should have read the followups :)

Yes, you can run imapd standalone.  The following is a sample:

shiva1_783:pine% /usr/local/etc/imapd
* PREAUTH shiva1.cac.washington.edu IMAP2bis Service 7.6(74) at Wed, 23 Mar 1994 09:24:01 -0800 (PST)
* logout
* BYE shiva1.cac.washington.edu IMAP2bis server terminating connection
* OK LOGOUT completed

This should work either local to the server or telnetting to port 143.

	Do you really mean you edited /etc/inetd?  It should be
/etc/inetd.conf.
