[cobalt-security] Raq 2 can't get canonical name of client is OK



Hello There

Repair the problem: can't get canonical name of client

Do this:
 
Take Telnet to cobalt and find file inetd.conf
 
open file and search row:
pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait.200  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd      in.qpopper
 
add -R end of the line
 
pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait.200  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd      in.qpopper -R
 
save it
 
Stop inetd and start inetd again.
 
this sample is from mail log before:

And this is after
