[stunnel-users] stunnel[2840]: Error binding pop3s to 0.0.0.0:995

Thu Nov 2 01:28:15 CET 2006

I'm trying to use stunnel on a redhat machine to securely check email, via xinetd via pop3d. 

My /etc/xinetd.d/pop3s looks like this:
service pop3s
{
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server = /usr/sbin/stunnel
        log_on_success  += USERID
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable                 = no
}

And netstat just shows xinetd on 995:
netstat -apn|grep 995
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:995             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2797/xinetd    

When I try to check mail with my client hitting port 995, I get this in /var/log/secure using debug level 7:

Any suggestions? 

Thanks!
