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".
