I have noticed that if I attempt to POP mail off my home machine (Redhat 7.0), from work, it takes a long time for eudora to connect to the machine.
So I did some testing and I did a 'telnet xxxx 110'. The tcp connection is set up immediately, however it can take up to 30 seconds for POPD to give the 'POP3 .... server ready' message. It looks like it is taking this long for xinetd to start /usr/bin/ipop3d. However, connecting to it from the local LAN or localhost gives it instantly. Doing an SSH, www or any other protocol also works instantly. Anyone got any ideas ? Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
