Where did I go wrong? Uncommenting the pop3 line in inetd.conf is only part of it. You also need to install the POP3 server package. Look in packages-current for qpop. This package will install correctly in FreeBSD 2.1R, but you will have to add a symlink in the shared libraries, to point libc.so.3.0 to the existing libc.so.2.2 . Now your POP server can run. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
