Re: rsh IMAP timeout

[Erdal MUTLU Arastirma Gorevlisi <erdal be itu edu tr>]

Thank you for your help.

I could not yet solve the problem. Bu I will focus on /etc/services file,
because the original one works. But when I comment the unnecesery ports it
did not work. Ther should be something else, somthing related to rshd.

Iyi gunler!                                   Have a nice day!
