Error bind address already in use

After I got the installation completed, things are coming together but I have an error popping up on the console that says the following:

Nov 24 11:04:59 wwww inetd[747]: ssh/tcp: bind: address already in use

this repeats itself over and over again....any idea how to fix it? I tried changing the settings in inetd several times to no avail.
 
What do these commands show?

# grep ssh /etc/inetd.conf

# grep ssh /etc/rc.conf

You are probably launching sshd normally and via inetd...
 
[inetd.conf]
ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i -4
#ssh stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i -6

[/etc/rc.conf]
sshd_enable="YES"
 
Well, there it is: You still have ssh enabled vi inetd. Comment out that ssh line, killall -1 inetd, and the messages will stop.
 
You must log in or register to reply here.
