I'm trying to get poppassd working with IMP 2,2,7 , using RH7.1
I keep getting "500 Old password for user is incorrect." when trying to change a passwd. 
I can telnet to localhost 106 getting the same:

[root at www xinetd.d]# telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 poppassd v1.8.2 hello, who are you?
user francisco
200 Your password please.
pass aslkcv78
500 Old password for user francisco is incorrect.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[root at www xinetd.d]#

here is my poppasssd file in the /etc/xinetd.d directory:

service poppassd
{
        disable             = no
        socket_type         = stream
        wait                = no
        user                = root
        server              = /usr/sbin/poppassd
        #only_from          = localhost
        log_on_success     += USERID
        log_on_failure     += USERID

}

and those are the lines in the /ect/services  (I'm trying uncommenting the 3com-tsmux   lines with no luck)

# unfortunately the poppassd (Eudora) uses a port which has already
# been assigned to a different service. We list the poppassd as an
# alias here. This should work for programs asking for this service.
# (due to a bug in inetd the 3com-tsmux line is disabled)
#3com-tsmux     106/tcp         poppassd
#3com-tsmux     106/udp         poppassd
poppassd        106/tcp
poppassd        106/udp

Any have an idea because I'm near of killing myself

Thanks a lot.
