Hi People

I get this message in my messages file (Linux 2.2.14): every 10mins.

Feb 26 16:11:01 henry inetd[497]: auth/tcp: bind: Address already in use

To me it looks like bind takes over port 113 which in.identd wants to use.
I confirmed this by running in.identd from the command line and got the  
following in my messages file.

Feb 26 16:04:08 henry in.identd[2135]: bind(port=113) failed: Address already 
in use

What can I do to get rid of this message and get identd and named to co-exist 
happliy?

Thanks

Jonathan.
