Well, we turned off the McAffee scanner but the problem did not go away. But when I set up the same email account on another W2K machine behind the firewall the email account (via ipop3d) worked fine. Also, I tried using inetd with tcpd but it did not make any difference. It's still a big mystery!

Were just started having the same problem with the some pop3d error message that you are talking about since last night. I want to know if you guys are using a Mcaffee virus scanner? We have a machine that just recieved an update for the virus scanning engine from the McAffee virusScan online. Since then we are having the same problem with the pop3 service that is managed by the inet daemon running on RH 6.2. The client machine is Windows 2000 Professional. That machine is also running sendmail and an ipchains firewall. The client machine is inside the firewall and is using NAT. Any clues on tracking this one down would be grately appreciated!!!

The only machines having problems are one Windoze ME machine & 2 windoze XP machines. My 2 RH 7.2 machines have absolutely no problem with any inetd service on this RH 6.2 machine. And like you it just starting happening today. I have a home lan network of machines. I noticed that a mail client makes the connection attempt and a little over a minute later the user is logged in. This is from /var/log/maillog and it is consistent for every pop, they all take a little over one minute. An ftp, telnet takes approximately the same length of time. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have 2 RH 6.2 servers, one for ftp, samba, telnet, the other for pop3, firewall, telnet. I just checked the smb services and sure enough they are timing out. I have to investigate this further with another Windoze machine but I thought this rather odd to be happening all at the same time. Seems like a windozes thing. If the pop3 client times out /var/log/messages reads like this: Jan 16 23:24:07 localhost ipop3d[1776]: Command stream end of file while reading line user=mywife host=[192.168.1.23]. The mywife is in place of the user name for my wife's windozes machine. I am using DHCP but I tried a windoze machine with a hostname on the RH 6.2 box and still the same pop3 "lag". Both these RH 6.2 machines are fully updated via RPM and running the latest kernel available via RPM. Any one have any ideas? I am not new to Redhat. Have been running it with my own ISP I used to own from 1996 till May of 2000, then my own home network up to today. Started with slackware, then 4.2,etc but this really has me puzzled......
