Hotwayd Problems

[Old Rocker]

First of all, thanks for all those who have tried to help me, but my 
system still doesn't want to play with hotwayd :-(

First of all, I reinstalled hotway (which as you say turns into the 
daemon hotwayd).  I then installed xinetd as has been suggested.  I get 
this through the console setting up screen in Synaptic:

Setting up hotway (0.8.2-2) ...
--------- IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS ----------
The following line will be added to your /etc/inetd.conf file:

pop3            stream  tcp     nowait  
nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/hotwayd

If you are indeed using xinetd, you will have to convert the
above into /etc/xinetd.conf format, and add it manually. See
/usr/share/doc/xinetd/README.Debian for more information.
-----------------------------------------------------------

First question.  Breezy comes with inetd and installing xinetd makes its 
setup overide inetd settings.  Is it really necessary to install 
xinetd?  Won't hotwayd set itself up as a daemon through inetd?

Nevertheless, with xinetd running, after having 
setup /etc/xinetd.d/hotwayd, I enter the command:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Stopping internet superserver: xinetd.
Starting internet superserver: xinetd.

which stops and starts xinetd.  So far so good!

Then I run from a console:

telnet 127.0.0.1 110

and get the following:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I've checked the permissions and they all seem OK, but any insight would 
be appreciated.  By the way, I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 with the Kubuntu 
desktop installed through it.

I'll remove xinetd and reinstall hotwayd and see if that works.  Also, 
I'll report back.
