Hi folks, Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 On running; $ telnet localhost 106 Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused $ netstat -an | grep 106 $ sudo netstat -an | grep 106 both no printout Pls advise where shall I check and how to fix the problem. TIA P.S. 1) confirmed with ISP port 106 is open 2) I'm adding "change password" plugin on SquirrelMail. After installing poppassd on repo I tested it whether works according to /usr/local/squirrelmail/www/plugins/change_pass/INSTALL Code: Be sure to test and make certain your poppass daemon is working properly. To test, try telneting into the daemon and changing a password: $ telnet localhost 106 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 200 poppassd v1.8.1 hello, who are you? user <username> 200 Your password please. pass <oldpassword> 200 Your new password please. newpass <newpassword> 200 Password changed, thank-you. quit 200 Bye. Connection closed by foreign host. B.R. satimis
Is poppassd running? (ps aux | grep popassd) No? Check man page to see how to get it running: "poppassd runs from inetd and listens on TCP port 106 by default. ..." Do you have inetd running or maybe xinetd? Check that poppassd is set up to be run by whichever your system is using.
Thanks for your advice. Problem solved after reinstalling poppassd and adding openbsd-inetd. "Change password> on SM is now working, B.R. satimis
