Re: [cobalt-users] Address already in use (logfile messages ?)

["Al-Juhani" <aljuhani@xxxxxxxxx>]

 This is a bind problem may be caused by identical (duplicate) lines (process) of inetds in your /etc/inetd.conf or simply two process using same port number.  The error message "Address already in use" means port i.e "port already in use".

SSH to your server then:

su -

then type the following command to list all open files in use on the system:

lsof -i tcp:imap

you can try the above command for other services that showing same port use in the log.
