>Environment:

Using poppassd port under 2.2.6 and many versions of FreeBSD before I beleive

>Description:

Sometime or other a pop3pw entry was placed in /etc/services. This is the port poppassd
should listen for requests on. The man page refers to adding a similar line and suggests
calling it poppassd (written in the days before there was an entry in /etc/services for
poppassd). I attach a patch to bring the man page into line with /etc/services.

While its technically not a bug as either would work the patch makes things easier to
understand for new users I guess :-)

Someone pointed this out to me ages ago and I have been to slack to submit it.
