I am setting up Qpopper on a RH7.0 system and I am noticing a series
of delays as qpopper connects, and does password checks.
Root:/root> telnet 127.0.0.1 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
(exactly 10 second delay)
+OK QPOP (version 3.1.2) at localhost.localdomain starting.

I have never used RH7.0 or this new xinetd.d directory for starting
daemons. Is this delay from qpopper or is this from RH7.0? I ask
because the time lag is timing out most of my user's mail apps.
qpopper never used to do this, but unfortunately I have changed both
OS Revisions and Qpopper revisions in the same step.
I used the following options to ./configure in this order (on one
line ofcourse)
--enable-nonauth-file=/etc/mail/qpop-deny
--enable-auth-file=/etc/mail/qpop-allow
--with-popuid=pop
--enable-apop=/etc/mail/apop.auth
--enable-specialauth
I am also noticing that I get bad password messages from any NON-APOP
user. As soon as I set up the user with popauth, they can log in
about 50% of the time.
Thanks for any pointers!
Nick
