Qpopper on RHL 9

gbbza · 06-07-2003, 01:04 AM

Hi ... hopefully someone can point me in the right direction

I have installed QPOPPER on Red Hat Linux 9.

Which file do I need to edit to start Qpopper automatically ??

The manual talks about starting the process automatically, and modifying the

/etc/inetd.conf file to contain

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper qpopper -s

or the

/etc/servers

pop3 tcp /usr/local/lib/popper qpopper -s

I cant find either of these file on my system ...

Thanks

Add the below (vi /etc/xinetd.d/pop)
# POP3 Service for /etc/xinetd.d/pop
#-s = show stats
#-c = lowercase all usernames
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/lib/popper
server_args = qpopper -s -c
port = 110
}

Now run:

service xinetd restart
