Network Error inetd
Hi , I need help, today I restarted the server, when the machine was up, it had been to writte in the file osmlog that :

"inetd[4825]: talk/udp: bind: Address already in use"

This message appears in ten minutes every time. Why ?

Thanks.

Hey,

the message is what it says - adress already in use.
Check your ip-address, another server in your network has
the same number and is online. Change your servers number or
the server, which has your number.
Duplicated ip-numbers in one network are not allowed.

That is not what this message means.

The message means that an attempt is being made to bind to a port that is already in use on THIS system. Most probably that an attempt is being made to start a daemon the is already running, in this case the 'talk' daemon, or that some application is started and bound to a port it shouldn't be.

Any idea to solve the problem?

As a start do a
Code:
netstat -an

and check for any unusual entries or duplicated ports. Otherwise you can simply disable the talk deamon, later, if a process is trying to bind to this port, you should be able to catch it Smilie
