Hey guys, need a little help here as my mbox is filling up very quickly...

Having a little problem setting up pop3 server/telnet/ftp, etc etc, etc,
etc.... Not exactly sure what is going wrong but I can give some feedback
from the logs. Basically what it amounts to is this,   The pop3 service is
running (used chkconfig --list to find out), the port is open and accepts
the connection initially, but drop its due to this error.

>>> Feb 17 17:10:05 localhost xinetd[22859]: execv( /usr/sbin/ipop3d )
failed: Bad address (errno = 14)

>>>>>[robert@soros robert]$ telnet localhost 110
>>>>>
>>>>>Trying 127.0.0.1...
>>>>>Connected to localhost.localdomain.
>>>>>Escape character is '^]'.
>>>>>Connection closed by foreign host.
>>>>>
>>>>>[robert@soros robert]$ 

[robert@soros robert]$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 
service pop3
{
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
        log_on_success          += USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        disable          = no
}


each time it fails with the same errno  (14)  for all services, ftp,
telnet, pop3, etc.. services that at least run through xinetd.  http
request work fine (my webpage http://soros.ath.cx/  has no problems with
connectivity)

Feb 17 17:20:15 localhost xinetd[22911]: execv( /usr/sbin/in.telnetd )
failed: Bad address (errno = 14)
Feb 17 17:03:12 localhost xinetd[22818]: execv( /usr/sbin/ipop3d ) failed:
Bad address (errno = 14)
Feb 17 17:21:54 localhost xinetd[22915]: execv( /usr/sbin/in.ftpd ) failed:
Bad address (errno = 14)

not sure where to go from here, did a man errno but it doesn't reveal a
whole lot... my /etc/hosts looks intact and normal with respect to this
particular box and its configuration but maybe I've missed something
here....  Any help would be greatly appreciated,  90 megs of mail waiting
in /var/spool/mail/ and nobody can grab it :(
