As it doesn't belong to your manually compiled stuff you'll not break functionality coming from the manually compiled vpopmail.

Usually it would, but in above exmaple you didn't give system the chance to search the path for vchkpw. You specified a very dedicated location of vchkpw binary you intend to be used. Did you '-HUP' inetd after changing the line for pop3? -- Ciao, Pit
