[imp] Using MySQL as User Database

[lists@nvethis.d2g.com]

Ok, I tried the telnet localhost 106 and I got this:
[root@nvethis sbin]# telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
[root@nvethis sbin]#

Then I dl'ed poppassd-ceti-1.8.tgz.  I tar'ed and then I did a make install, and was returned with 
[root@nvethis poppassd_1.8]# make
make: `poppassd' is up to date.
[root@nvethis poppassd_1.8]# make install
install -g bin -o root -m 500 poppassd /usr/sbin

Then I installed passwd, and made the changes in the configuration files to have that show up in Horde.  I logged into my IMP and tried to change my 
password, and I got the following error:

Failure in changing password : Connection refused

I am not sure if I have poppassd configured correctly, cause basically i just did a make install as you see above.  I looked for an rpm, but couln't 
dl the one from :
wget -c http://www.ceti.com.pl/~kravietz/progs/poppassd-1.8-ceti.tar.gz

So, can you think of anything I may have done wrong?  Is there a config file for poppassd?  I appreciate the help.  Thakns.
