syslog.log

[Dan Lukac]

Every second I have a process recorded in my syslog file.
An example is:
Feb 14 07:41:01 cars1 inetd[948]: lpn2/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Feb 14 07:41:01 cars1 inetd[948]: lnp2/tcp: Service enabled
How can I get this to stop getting these entries in the syslog?

I haven't had my coffee yet...so hope I'm reading this right.
It looks like you have logging for inetd functions enabled. If you don't want these things recording in syslog - you need to turn off a couple things.

1. Edit /etc/inetd.conf remove that -l at the end of the telnet line.
2. Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons change that line that says export INETD_ARGS="-l" to ARGS=""

Then you can stop and restart inetd
/sbin/init.d/inetd stop
/sbin/init.d/inetd start

Hope this helps/rcw

Hi,
It's possible you are trying to start two daemons utilising the same tcp port. Note the service lpn2 uses in /etc/inetd.conf - then check /etc/services for the port number.

Make sure there is not another entry in inetd.conf which uses a service with the same port number.

Hope that helps.

Sounds to me like you have to inetd's running that will give you address already in use.

I got this problem when we added U/SQL server and the startup script that came as part of the package uses port 7000. That port was already in use. After I changed the port to 7001 the problem and messages went away.

Thanks for you replies. In the inedt.conf file my arguement was lpn and it saw this as
a double entry.
