Re: [PLUG] pop3 server?

[Edward Pike <epike@isinet.com>]

Hi

if you really want to do this (read other posters warnings
also), if you have a newer tcp wrappers (RedHat 7.0 & above):

The directory to activate this is in /etc/xinetd.d/
the files are ipop3 and imap (or similar).  You'll
find a line there that says "disable", put a value
of "no". and restart xinetd.

For other (older) style tcp wrapers the file is 
/etc/inetd.conf.

consider separating your actuall shell account
and your mail account---I put a shell of /sbin/nologin
for pop-only accounts and it works for me.
