Configuring qpopper

Config files

Configuring qpopper

If you use inetd, the following command will add the qpopper entry to /etc/inetd.conf:

echo "pop stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/popper popper" >> \
/etc/inetd.conf &&
echo "pop 110/tcp" >> /etc/services &&
killall inetd || inetd &&
echo "local0.notice;local0.debug        /var/log/POP.log" >> \
/etc/syslog.conf &&
killall -HUP  syslogd

Issue a killall -HUP inetd to reread the changed inetd.conf file.

If you use xinetd, the following command will add the qpopper entry to /etc/xinetd.conf:

cat >> /etc/xinetd.conf << "EOF"
     service pop
     {
          port        = 110
          socket_type = stream
          protocol    = tcp
          wait        = no
          user        = root
          passenv     = PATH
          server      = /usr/sbin/popper
         server_args = popper
     }
EOF

Issue a killall -HUP xinetd to reread the changed xinetd.conf file.
