We just received our FreeBSD 5.x server and installed DirectAdmin every thing with the setup.sh file appeared to have worked fine..

One thing I did notice however is that IMAPD is not listed in the services ( See Below )
PHP:
Directadmin directadmin (pid 15608 15607 15573 15572 15546 671 )
Exim exim (pid 576 )
Httpd httpd (pid 15101 15100 15099 15098 15097 15096 15095 15094 15088 )
mysqld mysqld (pid 676 )
Named named (pid 15106 15106 15106 )
Proftpd proftpd (pid 678 )
Sshd sshd (pid 15114 )
vm-pop3d vm-pop3d (pid 15548 15547 628 627 626 625 624 623 622 621 612 )
when I run imapd from console I get this…
PHP:
$ imapd
PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS BINARY UNSELECT SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] Pre-authenticated user admin srv01.central-network.com IMAP4rev1 2004.357 at Sat, 30 Jul 2005 11:02:07 +0000 (UTC)

Until I ctrl-C the process

Any suggestions I have combed the logs and found nothing weird here…

so now when you try to connect to squirrelmail you get this..

PHP:
ERROR
Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
61 : Connection refused
Go to the login page

i assure you that all we did was ssh in to the bsd box as 'root' and ran setup.sh

start inetd

hrmm ok shouldent have this allready been done through the directadmin install?

its not starting on its own like it should
 
I use these flags in my rc.conf for some added security and optimization.

inetd_enable="YES"
inetd_flags="-wW -l -R 1024"


-w Turn on TCP Wrapping for external services.
-W Turn on TCP Wrapping for internal services which are built in to inetd.
-l Turn on logging of successful connections.
-R Specify the maximum number of times a service can be invoked in one minute; the default is 256. A rate of 0 allows an unlimited number of invocations.
 
Hi,

I have the same problem, i'm on FC3.

And in my etc, i haven't rc.conf :\
 
ok, though this is a FreeBSD thread, I think this is the answer.

as root user
edit /etc/xinetd.conf as needed
/sbin/service start xinetd
 
Oops, I didn't see where i was, sorry. I searched on the forum with search function ... sorry ^^
