The following messages are appearing at my terminal on a frequent basis: (Jan 15 09:23:05 e-mach login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv0 Jan 15 09:25:43 e-mach login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv0 ....preceeding from /var/log/messages) (these are the messages of concern:) Jan 15 09:32:54 e-mach inetd[503]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use Jan 15 09:42:54 e-mach inetd[503]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use Jan 15 09:52:54 e-mach inetd[503]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use The question is: What is going on here? It appears to be a conflict as one process is trying to bind to an address that is being used by another process However, I don't know if that is what 'bind' is in this context. If it doesn't mean DNS BIND then that eliminates that possibility. Please excuse my newbe question but I hope it doesn't mean that someone's script has snuck onto my machine from the network and beyond. These messages are appearing when the proxy/router machine is not even turned on. I would chase this down myself and not use the list but I don't know enough of where to look. The only clue I have is that sshd starts on boot and is also enabled in inetd.conf. Could this be the conflict? Thanks so much JK
