I believe "pop3" is the "correct" name, adopted by IANA. (I found an
official service name list somewhere on the standards website.) "pop-3"
predates this adoption.

I've been upgrading my 6.1 system piece-meal, so I've now got xinetd.
/etc/services is from the "setup" RPM, so I guess I need to look into
updating that. The setup package includes a bunch of config files for
/etc, including hosts.{allow,deny}. If you upgrade yours, be sure to
back up any customizations. "rpm -ql setup" will list the files to look
at, and "rpm -V setup" will tell you which ones you've changed.
