I was just checking my /etc/inetd.conf' file, and noticed that there is
no entry for 'smtp' in it. I thought that there was suppose to be one. I
was setting up 'qpopper' on this system the other day, and I am
wondering if I inadvertently deleted something that might have had to do
with this error message.

Strangely enough, everything does seem to work correctly.
