Subject: Problems with ipop2d and imapd

From: [email-masked] (Pete Holsberg)

I built pine, pico, ipop2d, ipop3d and imapd at the same time.
I then added the appropriate lines to /etc/inet/inetd.conf.
However, telnetting into ports 109 and 143 doesn't work
("connection refused") although telnetting into port 110 is fine.

Any ideas as to what I might have done wrong?

I'm running UnixWare 2.0.

Thanks.

Pete,

I don't know wether you have had a reply or solved the problem by now 

>I then added the appropriate lines to /etc/inet/inetd.conf.

The ID of the port in inetd.conf must match the one associated with the 
port number in /etc/services. So if in /etc/services you have

imap2    143/tcp
imap2    143/ucp
^^^^^
then in inetd.conf you should have something like

imap2    stream  tcp  nowait   root  /bin/imapd   imapd
^^^^^

I had 'imap2' in one and 'imap' in the other and had to make them the 
same to make it work. Make sure that the specified path to the binary is 
correct and pointing to the relevant binary. Make sure that the binary
has been copied to the correct location (e.g. /usr/sbin or /bin)

>("connection refused") although telnetting into port 110 is fine.

Also make sure that the sendmail demon has been re-set and restarted.
Hope this info is of some use!

And be sure imapd is executable (do chmod a+x imapd at an appropriate 
directory).

Good explanation up to this point, but it is the inetd daemon than needs
to be restarted, not sendmail...
