Hello list,

I have since days ervery ten minutes on my workstation xxx.domain.tld a 
entry in my /var/log/messages and on the console at the root-account 
these messages are appearing:

---------------------8<
Apr 13 10:30:53 xxx inetd[500]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Apr 13 10:40:53 xxx inetd[500]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Apr 13 10:50:53 xxx inetd[500]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Apr 13 11:00:53 xxx inetd[500]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Apr 13 11:10:53 xxx inetd[500]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Apr 13 11:20:53 xxx inetd[500]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Apr 13 11:30:53 xxx inetd[500]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use
---------------------8<

I know that inetd was writing this in this file and that ssh(d) has a 
problem. bind (named) is not running on my workstation. ssh/sshd is 
definitly running because I am using it at the moment. My problem is 
that I don't know how to handle with the problem, because I don't know 
what inetd wants from me.

I looked in "man inetd" but there is not this error described...

With regards
Stevan Tiefert
