I have tried to install imapd on a Sun with SunOs 4.1.3
There is a line in the /etc/services like: imap   143/tcp
In the file /etc/inetd.conf : imap  stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/imapd 
imapd.
After the command kill -HUP <inetd proces>  i tried to connect with 'telnet 
<hostname> 143 gives "connection refused"
Changing the port number to 109 gives the same result.
Chamgeing the port number to 109 and imap to pop-2 as well in /etc/services as 
in /etc/inetd.conf gives the normal result as when I start the deamon by hand.

How can I resolve the problem?

	One thing to look at, make sure that the seperator in your inetd.conf
file are tab characeters and *not* spaces.
