Hello,

This might be slightly off topic but here goes.  My issue is with
openssh and inittab.  

Here is the inittab entry:

sh:2:respawn:/usr/sbin/sshd


My problem is two fold.  First init is telling me "init: Id "sh"
respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes".  Why would it be
respawning too fast.  If I start it on the command line I get no
problems and it starts right off.  Secondly every five minutes after the
disable period init trys to start sshd even though sshd is already
running!!  My two questions I guess are what is causing init to think
ssh is respawing? and why would init try to start the daemon when it is
already running?  Does this have something to do with why you can't run
shell scripts out of init?


Thankyou.  

Andrew Hall
