fail to telnet localhost 106

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64


On running;

$ telnet localhost 106

Code:

---

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

---

$ netstat -an | grep 106
$ sudo netstat -an | grep 106
both no printout


Pls advise where shall I check and how to fix the problem. TIA


P.S.
1)
confirmed with ISP port 106 is open

2)
I'm adding "change password" plugin on SquirrelMail. After installing poppassd on repo I tested it whether works according to /usr/local/squirrelmail/www/plugins/change_pass/INSTALL

Code:

Be sure to test and make certain your poppass daemon is working properly.
To test, try telneting into the daemon and changing a password:

$ telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 poppassd v1.8.1 hello, who are you?
user <username>
200 Your password please.
pass <oldpassword>
200 Your new password please.
newpass <newpassword>
200 Password changed, thank-you.
quit
200 Bye.
Connection closed by foreign host.

sudo netstat -an | grep 106 -> no pinout?

Looks like the Port might be open but there isnt a Process behind it..?
what does netstart -an give?

cheers,
Robin

Thanks for your advice.


Problem already solved after reinstalling poppassd and installing openbsd-inetd. Now changing password on Squirrelmail works.
