There's a known bug when running qpopper on OpenBSD. The socket handling code in qpopper triggers a bug in OpenBSD. There was a thread about this on tech@openbsd about a month ago, but I haven't heard any developments since then. It will work fine if you run qpopper through inetd, so I'd suggest doing that as a workaround. Another thing to note is that with OpenBSD, you have to force DES passwords, as OpenBSD defaults to blowfish, and since there's no PAM in OpenBSD, qpopper has to do the authenication itself. I was working on a patch that would provide support for blowfish and MD5 crypt replacements, but I haven't finished it yet. - -- Ted Cabeen http://www.pobox.com/~secabeen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check Website or Keyserver for PGP/GPG Key BA0349D2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." -F.
