I haven't played with log_type, but I've experimented with various
combinations of log_on_success and simply can not get it to stop
logging. I don't have to worry about log_on_failure since there are no
failures - the only system doing pop is my wife's system that I've set
up, and it is always successful.
This is what I've got now:
# default: off
# description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \
# using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \
# or fetchmail.
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
# log_on_success += HOST DURATION
log_on_success -= HOST PID
log_on_failure += HOST
}
There is a default log_on_success in /etc/xinetd.conf that I'm trying to
override by removing that info from my logging. I still get the
following logged:
Nov 19 21:55:58 p6000 ipop3d[31642]: pop3 service init from 192.168.0.8

I don't have outside pop logs at all - pop doesn't make it through my
firewall.
