Hello everyone,

I have installed Redhat Linux(6.2) in a registerd domain Linux server. I have now successfully installed imap -
imap-2000c-10.i386.rpm (SMTP is configured). After installation i opend my xinetd.conf and found the below content.

# # Simple configuration file for xinetd # # Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/ defaults { instances = 60 log_type = SYSLOG authpriv log_on_success = HOST PID log_on_failure = HOST RECORD } includedir /etc/xinetd.d


I am not able to find pop3 or Telnet


Can u please tell me a solution to install the POP3.In a general case we normally just uncomment the POP3 in the inetd.conf,but here i havent found anything.Can u plz help me to find a solution

sory, but is the 'Urgent' part of the heading meant to make us type faster or something? it's really annoying...

xinetd.d uses separate config files for each service. /etc/xinetd.d/pop3s

hi sarvanan ,

look buddy please for gods sake dont give catchy heading
such as urgent and blah blah .... evryone's one work is urgent.

second thing .... i guess ur not a newbie but rather experienced fella ..... so if u dont find pop3 in xinetd then the first logical thing to do is to check if pop is present/installed on ur linux box .

u can run the find comamnd and find out if pop is installed or not.
if u dont find a file called pop then u dont have pop installed ,so try installing pop from the redhat cdrom .

hope this sorts out ..... so before posting think and do some work before rushing-in for help ..... linux community does helps all but atleast take some efforts.

regards,
vipul.

Dear Vipul,
U have misunderstood me in 2 issues

1.I am not experienced in LInux
2.I have made 100 attempts to get this POP3 server,all in vain

That is why i am asking this help again and again

Hi ,
which distro ru using ? With RedHat it is stored in the RPMS directory.

It starts with the word "pop" ....i dont know the exact name but try searching for the file on the whole cd-rom.

u can install the s/w with the command

rpm -Uvh pop.rpm

( replace the pop.rpm with the actual name of the rpm file that u find on the cdrom ).

Regards,
Vipul.

i am using RH 6.2

Dear Vipul
By Gods Frace Pop3s and ipop3 are know installed ,does it mean that i have got a pop account
