This happened to me again today, and I restarted inetd. I've found that every time I do this, I get the following message at regular intervals: Sep 22 13:37:00 freebie inetd[12206]: netbios-ns/udp: bind: Address already in use Now I don't use any such service, nor is there any entry for it in inetd.conf. Where is this coming from? Sure, this is the new inetd, not the old one, but it's puzzling that this happens every time.
