[Linux] pop3 error...

[Nick Simicich]

I don't recognize the message, but find/xargs/grep s pretty powerful, I'd
consider grepping through every file in every directory in my path for this
string or pieces of it.

find `(IFS=:$IFS ;echo $IFS ; for a in $PATH; do echo $a; done)` -type f |
xargs grep 'Command stream end of file'

might just do it.

It is essential, if you are testing this from the command line, to put the
slit on : in parenthesis so that the change to IFS does not pollute your
command shell.

I get this message.

/usr/sbin/ipop3d:Command stream end of file???%s while reading line
user=%.80s h
 st=%.80s-ERR Command line too long

I'd seriously consider telnetting to my pop3 port and logging in with user
and password and then just killing telnet.  My guess is that it is a
reaction to the client's not saying bye or quitting.
