Woods) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: problems with qpopper Date: Fri, 07 Jun 1996 10:55:10 -0500 Organization: Words & Pictures Lines: 24 Message-ID: <dwoods-0706961055100001@furball.metcomp.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 207.77.157.224 I have never set up a pop3 server and its been awhile since I've had to administer a UNiX system... But here's my problem, I'm sure its an easy fix and all help is greatly appreciated. The Problem: I've got sendmail all configured, Got the binary of qpopper from FreeBSD and installed it. I've set /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services correctly. When a pop client tries to get their mail, qpop wont start. The only message that I get is in the message logs that reads: Jun 5 15:21:05 babs inetd[7283]: cannot execute /usr/libexec/popper: Exec format error Popper is installed in /usr/libexec. I've even tried installing popclient and get the same "Exec format error". Could someone please tell me what the error is and how I can get popper to work? Thanks in advance. -- Darrin R.
