I would first like to thank Shun'ichiro Cho from Tokyo, Japan, and John Kemp from the University of Illinois for their help and advice. From what they have told me, popper (pop3 server) is running on HP9000/835 and HP9000/840 computers. I have a HP9000/825 and can't seem to get the pop3 server to run. It keeps saying "pop/tcp: Unknown service" when /etc/inetd is started up. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether a pop2 process is running or not. I have also tried rebooting. The important files seem to be /etc/services, /etc/inetd.conf. These are listed at the end of this message. Immediately following are the lines which pertain to pop3 from these files. Anyone have any clues? file: /etc/services pop 110/tcp file: /etc/inetd.conf pop stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/popper popper -t /usr/adm/pop.log error message when executing "/etc/inetd -l" pop/tcp: Unknown service ************************** /etc/services ************************************* # @(#)$Header: services,v 15.5 89/07/21 15:43:29 jmc Exp $ # # This file contains the information about the services provided. # # The form for each entry is: # <official service name> <port number/protocol name> <aliases> # # See the services(4) manual page for more information. # Note: The entries cannot be preceded by a blank space. # ftp 21/tcp # ARPA file transfer protocol telnet 23/tcp # ARPA virtual terminal protocol smtp 25/tcp # ARPA simple mail transfer protocol domain 53/tcp nameserver # ARPA domain namserv pop 110/tcp portmap 111/tcp # map RPC program numbers to ports netbios_ns 137/tcp # NetBIOS Name Service netbios_dgm 138/tcp # NetBIOS Datagram Service netbios_ssn 139/tcp # NetBIOS Session Service imap 143/tcp # the imap server daemon exec 512/tcp # remote execution, passwd required login 513/tcp # remote login shell 514/tcp cmd # remote command, no passwd used printer 515/tcp spooler # remote print spooling DAServer 987/tcp # SQL distributed access rlb 1260/tcp # remote loopback diagnostic nft 1536/tcp # NS network file transfer netdist 2106/tcp # update(1m) network distribution service rfa 4672/tcp # NS remote file access lanmgrx.osB 5696/tcp # LAN Manager/X for B.00.00 OfficeShare grmd 5999/tcp # graphics resource manager spc 6111/tcp # sub-process control who 513/udp # remote who and uptime syslog 514/udp # system logging talk 517/udp # conversation (reserved for future use) route 520/udp router # ARPA routing information protocol nfsd 2049/udp # NFS remote file system # The X10_LI server for each display listens on ports 5800 + display number. # The X10_MI server for each display listens on ports 5900 + display number. # The X11 server for each display listens on ports 6000 + display number. # Do not associate other services with these ports. # Refer to the X documentation for details. ****************************************************************************** ************************* /etc/inetd.conf ************************************ # @(#)$Header: inetd.conf,v 15.3 89/07/20 15:46:33 jmc Exp $ # @(#)4.1 87/08/17 ## # Inetd reads its configuration information from this file upon execution # and at some later time if it is reconfigured. # The number of entries in this file must not exceed _NFILE - 10. _NFILE # is defined in <stdio.h>. # # A line in the configuration file has the following fields separated by # tabs and/or spaces: # # service name as in /etc/services # socket type either "stream" or "dgram" # protocol as in /etc/protocols # wait/nowait only applies to datagram sockets, stream # sockets should specify nowait # user name of user as whom the server should run # server program absolute pathname for the server inetd will # execute # server program args. arguments server program uses as they normally # are starting with argv[0] which is the name of # the server. # # See the inetd.conf(4) manual page for more information. ## pop stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/popper popper -t /usr/adm/pop.log ftp stream tcp nowait root /etc/ftpd ftpd telnet stream tcp nowait root /etc/telnetd telnetd login stream tcp nowait root /etc/rlogind rlogind shell stream tcp nowait root /etc/remshd remshd exec stream tcp nowait root /etc/rexecd rexecd lanmgrx.osB stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/lm/lmsess.osB lmsess.osB #printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i ## # rpc services, registered by inetd with portmap # Do not uncomment these unless your system is running portmap! ## rpc stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/rpc.rexd 100017 1 rpc.rexd rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.rstatd 100001 1-3 rpc.rstatd rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.rusersd 100002 1-2 rpc.rusersd rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.mountd 100005 1 rpc.mountd rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.rwalld 100008 1 rpc.rwalld rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.sprayd 100012 1 rpc.sprayd ****************************************************************************** Peter Crump 148 Animal Science 608-263-2816 1675 Observatory Drive crump@calshp.cals.wisc.edu Madison, WI 53706 *****************************************************************************

If that's the case, then "/etc/services" (as well as other files) are ignored by certain system calls. If you are running YP modify /etc/services on the master server and then run ypmake. -- =============================================================================== Ian Hogg ianhogg@cs.umn.edu (612) 225-1401
