Pay close attention to the requirements for this line.

There should be *2* program names. One is the file that inetd will
invoke, and the 2nd is the value that inetd will pass to the program as
argv[0]. Your config line is using /usr/local/sbin/popper as the
program filename, but is passing -s as argv[0]. Usually you want
"popper" there.

If you use tcp_wrappers, then the program filename will be tcpd, and
argv[0] will be /usr/local/sbin/popper.
