Consistent with what you say below.

> telnet localhost 106
> Trying ::1...
> telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
> Trying 127.0.0.1...
> telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

There's the problem :)

Did you restart your inetd daemon after adding that?
 
> in the file /hosts.allow I hvae added: localhost.

It should be something like:

poppassd : localhost : allow

Is that what you meant?  If not, try something more like the above.

Any firewall (ipchains, iptables, sunscreen, etc) running on the machine?
