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

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.

Thanks,

I think the same Reborg, but the problem is that I can�t to reboot the machine.

Any idea to solve the problem?

Thanks ....

As a start do a

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 :slight_smile:

Thank all,
I had disabled the talk port in /etc/services, when reboot the machine, I hope to work it....
