Problem is in all that inetd testing loop. Bypassing that, I actually get to the do_start. Listening to [::], I can start the daemon but cannot USE IT. Connection still refused. Listening to * (normal ivp4), I that "new" failure to listen to 993. Something else is already using it (995 would be the pop3 server). Since I never had these problem before, what is going on now?
