Hi, I've recently installed/upgraded to freebsd 6.0 from freebsd 4.9. Most things have gone very smoothly and I thank the developers.

However, I'm seeing a lot of these messages in the system log

Dec 29 02:41:46 www inetd[469]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use

It seems like these are every 10 minutes. I suppose it's something obvious, but I don't know what.

Can anyone help?

My googling has improved: I see this from Kevin Kinsey

sshd(8) is enabled by adding:

     sshd_enable="YES"

    to /etc/rc.conf. It is started at bootup
and it seems likely that running it from inetd
as well would cause an error message such as
the one(s) you are describing.

I blindly added ssh and ftp to the inetd.conf file at install time. Do I need to remove one or both? Is there a place where one can see which (if any daemons need to be started in the old way). It seems to me that if the standard sshd startup has changed then a simple comment in inetd.conf would help to avoid problems for people like me.
