It's not "anything obvious" if you don't post any info.  Since inetd
is the one making the complaining log entries, why not post inetd.conf?

Just a guess, but I'd venture that you're running ssh as a daemon AND
from inetd.conf.  If so, remove the entry from inetd.conf.

But without seeing your inetd configuration, that's pure speculation.
