This also happened to me on a clean install of FC2. ssh works fine, but I keep getting the error mentioned above. I think I have found the reason behind this error. sshd binds IPv6 first, then when it tries to bind IPv4 it finds that the address is already in use (hence the error). The reason it still continues to function properly is because the IPv4 traffic is able to use the IPv6 socket that sshd is listneing on. Could someone please re-lable this bug to FC version 2, and also add some more keywords. I added this line to /etc/modprobe.conf install ipv6 /bin/true Then rebooted the system. The ssh bug went away. Now, i thought NETWORKING_IPV6=no in /etc/sysconfig/network was enough to turn off IPv6. It's not enough on my system, i have to fiddle with modprobe.conf. Maybe i should fill in a different bug report on this issue? :-) This is a dupe of bug #120302 |
