Hi,
I'm new here having got rather stuck last night upgrading a cobalt raq2
running a rather old version of qpopper as it's pop3 daemon. I installed
a number of patches from the cobalt website only to discover that once
that was done users could no longer log in to collect their e-mail. Searching
through the (unfortunately rather minimal) log files I found a number of
errors, the first of which was:
Jul 3 00:27:29 mail in.qpopper[19367]: Unable to obtain socket and address
of client, err = 134
I haven't seen this error repeated but now see regular reports such as:
Jul 11 11:51:33 mail /usr/sbin/in.qpopper[1065]: Unable to obtain socket
and address of client: Socket operation on non-socket (95)
(I realise that the date is wrong and intend to fix this shortly).
When I try and telnet to the server on port 110 I am able to connect and
get the expected welcome message:
"Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version ?) at localhost starting.
user USERNAME
+OK Password required for USERNAME.
pass PASSWORD
Connection closed by foreign host."
I know that the username and password I have entered are correct as I've
been using them to ssh to the box.
Does anyone have any idea where the problem may lie or suggestions of
things to check?
cheers. James.
