Joel. This error means that when you ran tcpserver, something else was already listening on port 110. `netstat -an | grep LISTEN` to see which ports are being listened on. Make sure you remove anything in inetd.conf, then -HUP inetd.

Subject: help for a newbie

I just installed qmail and attempted to set up pop3d.  I start qmail and get the following erroe:
 
tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already in use
 
dunno why it says this.machine is on a LAN with a public IP and one NIC.  I can telnet into the POP at port 110 so it is running but I dont like error messages.  Thanks.
