I recently ran into a problem with imapd running behind xinetd and I thought I'd share the solution in case someone else ran into it in the future.
I'm running RedHat 7.1 with the xinetd config files in /etc/xinetd.d. I had copied one of the config files over to "imap" in that directory and modified it to point to the imapd binary. The symptom I was seeing was that it seemed to take a LONG time to get imapd started (30-60 seconds) so that when you first authenticated or anytime a new imapd had to be started, there was a long delay. Once imapd was started, it seemed to run fine. My problem was that there was a "nice" value specified in the old xnetd config file I had copied over and that was causing the delay. The delay immediately went away as soon as I removed this value and restarted xinetd. Just thought I'd share it for the archives in case someone else runs into it in the future.... -- Jesse W.
