EVM logs...

[Francois Rabe]

Can somebody please tell me wat the following message in the evmlogs mean...

12-Jul-2004 00:35:27 [400] [25 times] inetd[1580307]: klogin/tcp: bind: Address already in use

12-Jul-2004 00:35:27 [400] [25 times] inetd[1580307]: kshell/tcp: bind: Address already in use

[Ralf Puchner]

it means: address already in use ;-)

and if knowing what "address" means will lead to the information that another application is using the port dedicated to the application.

reason:
all kind of port scanning or heavy usage of ports or used software like ssh which allocates all ports over time.

Sounds like a known problem, found a thread discussed in Tru64 managers list a while ago which may be useful. Talks about disabling klogin processes.
