Sep 26 19:22:36 hadar-gw inndstart: inndstart cant bind Address already
in use

This is what I get when I try to start innd or use inndstart on a freshly
installed Slackware 2.3 machine. (minor modifications)

I used the inn1.4sec-archive...

I tried with and without the port 119 entry in the inted.conf, but it
seems that is not it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I believe you need to comment out the nntp entry in your
/etc/inetd.conf file.

Hi

I got a similar problem that was related to an entry in /etc/inetd.conf
for nntp. Inet blocks the nntp port this way. Just comment the nntp entry
out to allow innd to take that port.
