When I telnet to pop3 as described in > the docs I receive a message: > "cannot execute <program path> permission denied" Generally speaking, this message means that the program cannot be executed because of the permission bits; see chmod(2) for more info. To solve it, type (as root): # chmod a+x <program path> This will allow anybody with an account to access the program. Whether or not this is a Good Thing in any given circumstance is left as an exercise to the reader.
