Re: uw-imapd won't start

[Thomas Shemanske <thomas.r.shemanske@dartmouth.edu>]

The problem seems to be the tcp daemon tcpd.  The logs are full of the 
following message:

Mar 14 16:59:40 buzoe tcpd[6026]: connect from unknown
Mar 14 16:59:40 buzoe tcpd[6026]: warning: can't get client address: 
Socket operation on non-socket

Looks like we are missing a package.  Any ideas?

Thanks
