I tried your prior suggestions and although it looked like everything worked it still would not. So I tried going back to the ports collection on freebsd's ftp site. Apparently there is a port for qpop2.2. So I blew everything off in my install direcetory and ran the port which is supposted to add appropriate patches to support freebsd. It still did not put popper executable in the libexec directory. I had to copy this from the "work" directory that created by the install scripts mannually. Everthing seemed to run fine, popauth created, popper created but when I tried to get the popper deamon running thru inetd.conf I keep getting permission denied (I''m doing this from root) so I'm really perplexed! Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? ---------- > From: Troy Settle <rewt@i-Plus.net> > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: oops... nevermind what I said about qpopper > Date: Thursday, February 20, 1997 2:44 AM > > A few days ago, I responded to a post asking how to get qpopper to > run on FreeBSD.
