Hi Dan,
	During my stuffed upgrade to OSX 10.2.5 & the attempted 
migration to iTools 7 from 6.5.7 (have had to revert to 6.5.7 until 
everything is fixed up again), I have had the same problem after 
every reboot.
	In the /etc/inetd.conf file, you need to make sure the 
following lines are active:

pop3    stream  tcp     nowait   root    /usr/libexec/ipop3d     popd
imap4   stream  tcp     nowait   root    /usr/libexec/imapd      imapd

	These should be listed straight after the commented bootpd 
line. Up until last night, my install kept getting those lines 
commented out after a reboot, but Tenon have logged into the system & 
fixed something & it now seems much better, though 2 different 
problems are happening - named & httpd are not starting on boot now. 
hope this helps out.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
