fail to telnet localhost 106

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64

On running;

$ telnet localhost 106

Code:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

$ netstat -an | grep 106
$ sudo netstat -an | grep 106
both no printout

Pls advise where shall I check and how to fix the problem. TIA

P.S.
1)
confirmed with ISP port 106 is open

2)
I'm adding "change password" plugin on SquirrelMail. After installing poppassd on repo I tested it whether works according to /usr/local/squirrelmail/www/plugins/change_pass/INSTALL

Code:

Be sure to test and make certain your poppass daemon is working properly.
To test, try telneting into the daemon and changing a password:

$ telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 poppassd v1.8.1 hello, who are you?
user <username>
200 Your password please.
pass <oldpassword>
200 Your new password please.
newpass <newpassword>
200 Password changed, thank-you.
quit
200 Bye.
Connection closed by foreign host.

in.identtestd

IN.IDENTTESTD(8)						 Library functions						  IN.IDENTTESTD(8)

NAME

       in.identtestd - a small daemon that can be used to test Ident servers

SYNOPSIS

       in.identtestd

DESCRIPTION

       in.identtestd  is  a  small daemon (to be started from inetd) that does an ident lookup on you if you telnet into it. Can be used to verify
       that your Ident server is working correctly.

       The source code can be found in the debian libident source package, as ident-tester.c.

EXAMPLE

       A typical entry in /etc/inetd.conf would be:

       9999 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.identtestd in.identtestd

       With the above entry in place and active, execute "telnet hostname 9999" from either this system, or another system. It should  show  some-
       thing like:

	   Trying hostname...
	   Connected to hostname.
	   Escape character is '^]'.
	   Welcome to the IDENT server tester, version 1.9

	   (Linked with libident 0.22 Debian)

	   Connecting to Ident server at 192.168.1.1...
	   Querying for lport 1109, fport 9999....
	   Reading response data...
	   Userid response is:
	      Lport........ 1109
	      Fport........ 9999
	      Opsys........ UNIX
	      Charset...... <not specified>
	      Identifier... paul
