Strange. According to "man xinetd.conf", that should pass "qpopper" in
argv[1] and qpopper should see that as a bad argument. However, the
startup code may simply ignore anything without a leading "-" when not
run in standalone mode.
I just ran this:
egrep "(flags|server_args)" /etc/xinetd.d/*
The only service which includes the name in the args and lacks
NAMEINARGS is linuxconf. I've never tried to use that remotely (and now
know I need to remove it) so I've never gotten an error from trying it.
