[Linux] ipop3d login problem

[linux]

THIS looks ok:

[root@lin1m /root]# ipop3d
+OK POP3 onlineserve.net v7.59 server ready

AND i uncommented this:
pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  ipop3d

BUT no matter how right my password is from the remote email client I get
"bad login" and

/var/log/maillog says:
