   As I understand it, rpc.imapd is a dependency of nfs, meaning that it   
   should be automatically started, yes.  Are the permissions on the file   
   correct?

   Unfortunately this group is pretty much dead, thanks to a stupid BBS   
   admin who let his BBS spam this group to death with old messages   
   several times a day for over a year.   
      
   Most of the traffic - and I do mean *lots* of it [*] - is now to be   
   found in linux.gentoo.dev and linux.gentoo.users, but both are only   
   archives to mailing lists.   
      
   Communication happens via the mailing lists (which are moderated) and is   
   then archived on Usenet.  I don't think you can post to the Usenet   
   groups directly, and you either way need a real, working e-mail address   
   to be able to post.  Not advisable on Usenet unless you want to put   
   yourself through the trouble of receiving filtering out all the   
   spam. :-/   
      
      
   [*] Both of them have very high traffic, and even if you're not going   
       to be posting to the mailing lists, there are some very interesting   
       things being debated there, not just with regard to Gentoo only but   
       also with regard to upstream, hardware, etc.
