Hmmm . . . tricky. Thinking back on my experience with RedHat (which,
by the way, I must say I very much dislike. My rule of thumb: run
Slackware on anything less than a P3, Mandrake on anything greater, and
TurboLinux if you want to have fun. =) ) You are right trying to use
pop-3 instead of pop3 (thanks to Red Hat's seeming ability to aim
towards non-standards); but I wonder what is running there that the
address is already in use for? Do these:
cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep pop
and
cat /etc/services | grep pop
and post the results. We'll go from there.

BTW, you are telling inetd to re-read it's conf file with a SIGHUP after
making changes, aren't you?
