My problem was caused my an tcp6 setting in inetd.conf like this : pop3 stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper popper -t /var/log/qpop.log
I changed that tcp6 to tcp and I have ip addresses in my logs now. Thanks to , Alan W. Rateliff for pointing this out. /sh On Friday, August 16, 2002, at 12:59 AM, Alan W.
