I compiled the binary and got this error when polling the mailbox using
fetchmail...

Query status=2 (SOCKET)

Any ideas what I did to screw up?

My /etc/inetd.conf file reads:

pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/lib/popper qpopper -s


The original line was ......

pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.qpopper -R


I've reverted back and things are working...
