Re: popclient and diald (fwd)
Hi all,
This is a message I sent to the Eric, popclient maintainer. I tend to agree
with Eric, this does look more like a diald problem.
I have added the following lines to my diald configuration files
accept tcp 30 tcp.dest=tcp.pop-3
accept tcp 30 tcp.source=tcp.pop-3
accept udp 30 udp.dest=udp.pop-3
accept udp 30 udp.source=udp.pop-3
I am using pop3 and pop-3/tcp and pop-3/udp are defined in /etc/services
I have a work around for now. Instead of using popclient in daemon mode I
have generated a script that forces diald to raise the link, waits for ppp
to be activated (/var/run/ppp0.pid is created) and then runs popclient. This
is called periodically by cron
If anyone wants this script, let me know
Simon

Once the link is up, if I interrupt popclient (ctrl-c and then invoke it again it connects directly to the server, no problems at all.
