Subject: Re: simple question?

If i'm user root and execute /usr/local/sbin/popa3d -D, i get the 
following:

negative root # /usr/local/sbin/popa3d -D
+OK

And then it just waits for input ..

It does the same thing if i execute /usr/local/sbin/popa3d -V as well.. 
Maybe there is some compile issue on my machine..

I use qmail for smtp and use ~/Mailbox format, so i #undef the 
MAIL_SPOOL_PATH .. If I do that, I get a bunch of compile warnings.  Here 
they are:

---- END

If I leave MAIL_SPOOL_PATH defined, it compiles without errors, but still 
the same things as mentioned above happen (ie; starting it with -D, trying 
to run it from xinetd or even trying to get version info via -V option..)

I'm just flabberghasted at this moment and I really don't know what to do 
anymore.. :P

On another note, i'm using grsecurity patches and i have "special group 
socket access" or whatever it's called enabled.  Where members who belong 
to group X have access to sockets.. I went ahead and added the popa3d user 
to this special group "just in case", but still, nothing.
