Hi List
I had qpopper running on RHL 6.2 but which required entries in the
inetd.conf and services.
On RHL 7 the inetd has been replaced by xinetd. I installed qpopper and
made the required entries in the services and xinetd. Neways, pop server
does not authenticate users any more. Any suggestions?
Regards,
