xinetd popper problem 0.0.0.0 already in use

2008-04-26 Thread Mark Olbert
Sigh. I like linux, but it sure is a pain in the ass to get working sometimes. I have the qpopper popper program running under xinetd. When I try to access it from across my subnet via telnet I get rejected on the client side and a message prints out on the lfs system console to the effect that

Further to my last on popper/xinetd not working from another client on the same subnet, I rebuilt qpopper with debugging support. Here's an extract from sys.log when the attempt to connect from another client occurs: Apr 26 13:50:08 wiggle_butt xinetd[16303]: Reading included configuration file:

ATA Drives as SCSI Drives?

Quick question: I have 3 SATA hard disks, a PATA DVD-R/W, and a PATA Zip drive in my LFS6.3 system. All five devices show up as SCSI devices (e.g., sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, sr0). That's not a big deal -- although it took me a little while to figure out how the DVD-R/W was named -- but it strikes me as

Connectivity Problem Resolved..mostly

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions on what might be wrong with my LFS 6.3 system. I'm now able to connect to the new LFS box over either telnet or ssh. The solution involved paring away some complexity, which I'd probably misconfigured (e.g., reverting to an unwrapped sshd), and then
