In my /var/log/messages file, I got a message saying: Apr 11 08:21:31 noc inetd[34953]: cannot execute /usr/local/libexec/imapd: No such file or directory The strange thing is that when I did a scan on the machine, it appears imap is running. 143/tcp open imap2 Can anyone explain why it says imap4 in inetd.conf and imap2 otherwise? I know that nmap does a best guess at what is running on a given port. I was just wondering what imap4 is relative to imap2 and 1. Any info much appriciated!
