Well, you're already 99% of the way there. You can't run sshd both
as a standalone daemon and as a service to be started from inetd. As
the error message says, they both try and bind to the same network
port which is never going to work.
Running sshd out of inetd is weird and unnatural, so I suggest you
just comment out the ssh line in inetd.conf and restart the inetd
service:
/etc/rc.d/inetd restart
Then make sure sshd is running happilly:
/etc/rc.d/sshd restart
(bouncing sshd like this is even safe to do if you're logged in
via ssh...)
Cheers,
Matthew
