FreeBSD marlo.eagle.ca 4.1.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE #0: Wed Nov 15
11:19:08 EST 2000     freymann@marlo.eagle.ca: /usr/src/sys/compile/MARLO
i386

When new mail arrives, all we see is the one line message:

marlo: {125} %
New mail for freymann@marlo.eagle.ca has arrived:
----

We're used to seeing the first few lines of the message, not just the "new
mail" indication.

I've altered the line in /etc/inetd.conf to:

comsat  dgram   udp     wait    root:tty /usr/libexec/comsat    comsat

and done a kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

If I check /var/log/messages shortly after the -HUP I see:

Nov 29 08:36:09 marlo inetd[159]: comsat/udp: bind: Address already in use

And at various times throughout the day this message gets logged.

I realize "Address already in use" means something else is using the same
port. Question is, what port does comsat use and how would I find out what
other program is using that port?
