Oops! I meant to expand on that. In case there's any misunderstanding about what should be included in <server_arguments>, it includes arg 0, the executable name. Hense "popper4 -f /usr/local/etc/qpop.config" in the <server_arguments> position in my example inetd.conf line. Didn't you say you're using Solaris 8? See man inetd.conf to verify this. See also other entries in your inetd.conf for working examples. -- Chip Old (Francis E.
