Oct 11 10:09:54 ahab inetd[644]: ftp/tcp: bind: Address already in use

[Luke Kearney]

Hi,

You might check out sockstat -4 or netstat -na |grep LISTEN 
to give you some idea of what program is trying to listen on that port. 


AFAIK I think running proftp as a standalone daemon was the preferred
method rather than through inetd but that is just my $00.02 worth
