Hi sunil,

It seems to me a problem with /etc/hosts.deny. May be you have denied the
service for popd there. Please check it and if so you can enable the
service through /etc/hosts.allow

For details you may look at man pages of tcpd. Hope this will solve your 
problem. Normally, if the daemon is not running you will get an error
message, something like "connection refused" or so.

So it must be the message from tcpd
