Hi Falko,
Correct, that's what I thought too. And that's the reason I did not proceed further to install the optional Courier.
Basically I tried when I followed the tutorial 1st time, I ended up installing Courier and ISPConfig still showed me with POP3 Service alone as Offline, and so I reinstalled Kanotix from the begining and then started all from second time. So this time I thought I will not install the optional Courier Step to find out whether it will work out this time without Courier's involvement.
Following is my /etc/inetd.conf
Code:
#<off># # /etc/inetd.conf: see inetd(8) for further informations.
#
#<off># # Internet server configuration database
#
#
#<off># # Lines starting with "#:LABEL:" or "#<off>#" should not
#<off># # be changed unless you know what you are doing!
#
#<off># # If you want to disable an entry so it isn't touched during
#<off># # package updates just comment it out with a single '#' character.
#
#<off># # Packages should modify this file by using update-inetd(8)
#
# <service_name> <sock_type> <proto> <flags> <user> <server_path> <args>

Please see what I could do to correct this problem.
Many thanks,
