  I am not using inetd for pop3, cyrus 2+ handles it by itself:

jojda:~> grep -i pop /etc/inetd.conf
jojda:~> 

  and the error messages about not being able to execute pop3d were from
cyrus:

Aug 23 22:21:30 localhost master[19838]: couldn't exec
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/pop3d:
 No such file or directory
Aug 23 22:21:30 localhost master[344]: got weird response from child: 2
Aug 23 22:21:30 localhost master[344]: available child 19838 terminated
abnormal
ly

  I believe master refers to cyrus master, it's from
/var/log/mail.info.0 file

  so I am quite sure it's not inetd.
