Hallo ich habe da was zu lesen für Dich vieleicht hilft es Dir? bind: Address already in use Thu, 20 Dec 2001 16:35:50 -0500 Faber Fedor (The Answer Gang) Harjit Gill asked: I am having a bit of a problem with suse linux 7.2. My problem is on the xconsole I get an error message stating the below: inetd[838] smtp/tcp (2): bind: Address already in use The process inetd (process id 83 8) tried to run some SMTP protocol program (that also uses TCP) but the address that the SMTP program wants is already in use by someone else. My guess is you're running an email program like sendmail and also running another SMTP program (read: mail) from inside of inetd. Check to see what's uncommented in /etc/inetd.conf, cross reference that with /etc/services and see if anything uses port 25 (which is listed in /etc/services). Gruss Manfred
