Subject: imapd and SCO

I am new to this mailing list.  If this subject has been covered already, 
I apologize in advance.

I am running Pine3.91 on an SCO Open Server machine.  The implementation 
has been a wonderful success.  I am now trying to expand the 
implementation to include PC-PINE for winsock.

My winsock installation appears to be solid and functional,  but 
accessing my inbox on the SCO machine has proven to be no easy matter.  I 
have added the pre-compiled imapd (427500K Oct 21 11:00) that came with 
the pine-3.91.tar for SCO to my inetd.conf file:

	imapd stream tcp nowait root /etc/imapd imapd

The /etc/imapd file looks like this:

	-rwx--x--x 1 bin bin 427500 Mar 08 09:41 /etc/imapd

I have added it to my /etc/services:

	imap	143/tcp

then I rebooted the server.

My PINERC file has the line:

	inbox-path={indodt1}/usr/spool/mail/sinner

When I run PC-PINE I get:

	Can't connect to indodt1,143: Refused (10061)

then,

	No Inbox opened

Any help would be appreciated.  If I can get PC-PINE to interact with the 
SCO inboxes, I will make ALOT of users very happy.

I used info given by you to succesfully installed Winsocks pcpine (I had 
received the same error message before) with one exeption --- according 
to comments in my inetd.conf it is necessary to use name of service from 
/etc/services as the first word of inetd.conf line---seems to me you 
used a name of the daemon. So for HP it works using:

imap stream tcp nowait root .........

Try imap instead of imapd. I hope it helps (and thank YOU for your help)

Vladimir

P. S.  Maybe it would be enough to send SIGHUP to inetd to make it load a 
new configuration (I don't know if its true for SCO...)
