I have searched the archives and found several postings regarding Qualcomm's
qpopper, but none detail all the steps necessary to get qpopper up and running.
Can someone who has already done so, please email me these steps.
I downloaded qpopper version 2.4b2, successfully built it, but have problems
getting it configured on my system.
1. Added the following line to /etc/services
pop3 110/tcp # Post Office
2. Added the following line to /etc/inetd.conf
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper popper -s
3. Sent the PID of inetd a kill -HUP
4. When I try telneting to hostname pop3I get the following
telnet pgw6 pop3
Trying 144.54.21.40...
Connected to pgw6.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
And the following messge is logged in daemon.log
pgw6 inetd[3768]: execv /usr/local/lib/popper: Permission denied
5. Both /usr/local/lib/popper and /usr/local/lib/popauth are setuid and
are owned by the user pop. Tried changing the owner to root but it
made no difference.
5. I made ONLY one change to the Makefile. That was the addition of the
-DDEBUG directive.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
