Has anyone resolved the error with xinetd and qpopper 4? I have followed
the examples to excruciating detail, have backtracked up versions and down
to the current version, reinstalled xinetd from www.xinetd.org and followed
a host of different sources recommending what I should do.
I am getting confusing errors from the html side, and what is being logged
in the maillog file.
HTTP side:
I can get logged in and browse my mail folders, but I cannot receive new
mail or send mail, or move mails between established folders. When sending
new e-mail, I get the following error:
Send Error: Could not connect to server <servername>
ROOT side:
I can 'telnet <servername> pop4' and get the pop server to respond, log in
and out, view the inbox..etc, but that's about it.
LOG files:
My log files do not correspond with the HTML error messages. I know these
are not uncommon errors, I just can't find anything specific on them.
maillog: May 14 15:55:56 <server> popper[16196]: Stats: <account> 0 0 0 0
<servername> <IPAddress>
maillog: May 14 15:55:56 <server> popper[16196]: I/O error flushing output
to client <account> at <server> [IPAddress]: Operation not permitted (1)
messages: May 14 15:56:30 <server> xinetd[16120]: execv
(/usr/qpopper4.0.4/popper ) failed: Permission denied (errno = 13)
I have tried locating the popper executable in the /usr/sbin/popper
directory, but that doesn't seem to matter, the same error applies no matter
where the file is at.
I've read/sweated/frustrated on the FAQ's from qpopper. My xinetd.conf
reflects the currect consensus configuration for running the POP services.
Any takers on helping out?
Thanks in advance....
