Greetings,
	In an attempt to debug why I could not receive e-mail from my pop client I get the following error message when I try to telnet to the pop port (110) 
inted[114]: execv /usr/local/etc/pop3d:Permission denied, nowhere in the doccumentation is there anything mentioned about this. Any ideas what I could do about this???


Another problem has been the time it takes to establish a connection with the FreeBSD box. It takes way to long when ping returns round trips of 0 milli seconds. Any suggestions on how to improve the connect speed. 

Thanks and cheers,
Ranjan 

P.S.
Specs:-
486 + NE2000 Ethernet card, 16 mb, sytem on a local ethernet based net of 30 macs running TCP/IP.
