I'm having a problem accessing the pop3 port on my server. The server
on a computer named bullet at 192.168.1.4 . The computer I am trying
to access bullet from is named baby and my user account is michael.
I've tried telnetting from baby to bullet on port 110 from baby, but it
says Connection refused. Yet if I ssh over to bullet and telnet from
there, I can get port 110 no problem. I used
redhat-config-securitylevel to make sure that bullet accepted telnet
requests, and it does. I've included the screen dump of my efforts
below. What am I doing wrong???
