All,
Below is my config. When I run dovecot from xinetd, I get these errors in the
log:

...it acts as if it has no file permission, but it seems like it certainly
should. Here is the files it is trying to access:
[root at t4pserver2 ~]# ls -al /var/spool/mailpop3/

Any ideas what is wrong? What is different running under xinetd? All the
process run under the same user ids...
Thanks,

Should probably be "mail". E.g. $ ls -la /var/spool/mail/ total 724K drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4.0K Jan 19 01:16 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4.0K Jun 2 2011 .. -rw------- 1 stan mail 707K Mar 20 21:32 stan Ownership of /var/spool/mailpop3 should probably be root:mail instead of mail:mail. And given that 'mail' is a standard group name, it's probably not wise to have an actual user named 'mail', as you've done here. -- Stan
