telnet 106 problem

[franklin321]

Dear all,

I am trying to test squirrelmail, poppassd. My squirrelmail and poppasswd are working fine. But I can't perform the following:

# telnet localhost 106
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

Kindly please help.

It probably means poppasswd isn't running. Check with sockstat(1) to see if it actually opened a port.

Dear SirDice,

I have checked as your say, and I found no poppassd was running.

# sockstat | grep poppassd
sockstat: sysctl(): No such process
sockstat: sysctl(): No such process
sockstat: sysctl(): No such process
#

In addition, I can run my poppassd as following without any errors.

# /usr/local/sbin/poppassd
200 poppassd v1.2 hello, who are you?
user abc
200 your password please.
pass password1
200 your new password please.
newpass password2
200 Password changed, thank-you.
#

Using this I can change passwords.

My /etc/services entry for poppassd

poppassd        106/tcp     poppassd
poppassd        106/udp     poppassd

Please let me know if anything still remaining.

Regards,
Franklin
