Hotwayd Problems

['Forum Post]

Hi,



hotwayd is in the universe, but the package name is hotway, not
hotwayd.  But, the bin is still called hotwayd after installation
(/usr/bin/hotwayd)  I have it installed on my machine, and I got it
from Universe (email section).



As far as it not being auto configured to run as a daemon, that's
right.  After install it will not be configured to start as a daemon.



Apart from hotway and any dependencies I needed to install, I also
needed to install xinetd.  So, here is what I did to configure hotway
to start as a daemon (assuming you have installed hotway, its
dependencies and xinetd).



First create the file:



> /etc/xinetd.d/hotwayd



Here are the contents of the file:



> service hotwayd

> {

> #only_from = 192.168.1.0/8

> disable = no

> type = unlisted

> socket_type = stream

> protocol = tcp

> wait = no

> user = nobody

> groups = yes

> server = /usr/bin/hotwayd

> #server_args = -p http://proxy:8080

> port = 110

> }



Now, restart xinetd to update the settings:



> sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart



Finally, test the configuration:



> telnet 127.0.0.1 110

> Trying 127.0.0.1...

> Connected to 127.0.0.1.

> Escape character is '^]'.

> +OK POP3 hotwayd v0.8.2 -> The POP3-HTTPMail Gateway. Server on ubuntu
> active.

> quit

> +OK see you later!



I hope this helps!
