Maybe it already configured itself, but you may want to check that the
line in /etc/inetd.conf that is similar to this one:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper
is *not* commented out (no '#' at the beginning)
Also, you might have to send a signal to the inetd daemon so that it
reloads its configuration file. Type (as root):
kill -1 `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
To check that it is working, try to telnet to port 110 of your machine
as:
telnet localhost 110
You should get a connection then something like:
+OK QUALCOMM Pop server derived from UCB (version 2.1.4-R3) at xxx starting.
Type:
QUIT <RETURN>
to close the connection.

Sounds scary :-( (I am a sysadmin)...
Good luck,

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
But... I *am* the system administrator :-]
