Question SuSE 7.2 pop3 connection refused


I have a SuSE 7.2 box that is running sendmail and hopefully will be running a working pop3 server (ipop3d) soon. I've made sure DNS is working correctly. I have made sure xinetd.conf has a correct service entry for pop3 and it isn't disabled (I've also tried with inetd.conf, no luck there either, so pop3 is commented out and I'm relying on xinetd.conf).

When I try to telnet to the box on port 110 (or use a pop3 client), I get "connection refused". This happens even if I telnet "from" the box that ipop3 is running on. I'm positive that ipop3d is running as I have started it manually and its sitting there waiting, BUT it doesn't show up with a "netstat -a". I'm just wondering if I have missed a configuration file for ipop3d or if it needs to start out of the init scripts something? Can anyone explain why the connection isn't being allowed?

thanks

Well, I've the same problem with mandrake 8.1!

I can't log in and there's always the same silly error-message.
I hope somebody knows about this problem!!!

thanks
