Try changing the pop3 entry in inetd.conf to reflect where the file "popper" actually resides. I put a copy of popper in /usr/local/lib and edited inetd.conf to reflect this. Make sure permissions are -rwxr-xr-x, then restart inetd. We should probably move this conversation to questions since we have gone beyond "where do I find out how to do this".
