Hello,
Distribution: FC4 x86_64, up to date.
Host: used an a NIS client (passwd: compat, and so on
in /etc/nsswitch.conf)
My problem: on boot, xinetd fails to start some services with:
(syslog output)
bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = imaps
Service imaps failed to start and is deactivated.
bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = pop3s
Service pop3s failed to start and is deactivated.
After analyzing, it happens that sometimes NIS requests use TCP/995 for
a *short* period of time. So:
- it is very hard to have lsof(8) displaying TCP/995 in use;
- but tcpdump displays traffic between my host and the NIS server
on TCP/995;
The result is that xinetd fails to start with all services!!!
My question: how to fix that?
(I really need imaps and pop3s and NIS...)
