Don't edit the /etc/xinetd.conf file directly; instead, stick each of
the entries below in your /etc/xinetd.d directory as separate files:
/etc/xinetd.d/qpopper:
service pop3
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/popper
server_args = -c -s -T 120
}
/etc/xinetd.d/ipop3:
service pop3
{
flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = ipop3d
instances = 100
}
Then run:
$ chkconfig ipop3 off
$ chkconfig qpopper on
The chkconfig(8) program is your friend.
