Howdy folks!
The installation instructions for iMap make things sound simple, but I'm
having no success. The installation process goes as follows:
1. Built using 'make lrh'. Here's my uname:
[root@mail xinetd.d]# uname -a
Linux mail.booksys.com 2.2.16-22 #1 Tue Aug 22 16:49:06 EDT 2000 i686
unknown
This machine is RedHat 7.(something). I forget which one exactly, it's
been extensively wailed upon. ;)
Build went fine.
2. Copied imapd/imapd, ipopd/ipop2d and ipopd/ipop3d to the /bin
directory. Checked to make sure, and all three are executable.
3. Updated the services file with these lines:
[root@mail xinetd.d]# grep 'imap' /etc/services
imap2 143/tcp imap2
imap2 143/udp imap2
imap3 220/tcp imap3 # IMAP
imap3 220/udp imap3 # Protocol v3
imaps 993/tcp imaps # IMAP over SSL
4. Added a few files to /etc/xinetd.d. To wit:
[root@mail xinetd.d]# ls -l imap*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167 Feb 13 17:20 imap2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Feb 13 17:04 imap3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Feb 13 17:04 imaps
[root@mail xinetd.d]# cat imap*
# default: on
service imap2
{
disabled = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /bin/imapd
server_args = imapd
port = 143
}
# default: on
service imap3
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /bin/imapd
port = 220
}
# default: on
service imaps
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /bin/imapd
port = 993
}
I've tried several different settings in the xinetd config files, and I
get the same results over and over. We do have some things working via
xinetd, such as our pop server. The config files above were copied from
our pop server's config file, because I knew it was working and figured
that was a good place to start. Also, our ssh server is successfully
running via xinetd
Connecting to any of those three ports results in the same stinkin result:
[root@mail xinetd.d]# telnet 127.0.0.1 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Further, this appears in the logs:
Feb 13 17:31:18 mail xinetd[716]: refused connect from 127.0.0.1
When forcing an xinetd reload, the following lines show up in the logs:
Feb 13 17:32:12 mail xinetd[716]: Starting hard reconfiguration

Anyone see anything glaringly obvious that I'm doing wrong?
