Cannot find any problem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-3.9p1-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start sshd with default settings Expected Results: this error should not be there Additional info: I've an eth0, an eth1 and an ppp0 interface set up
Confirmed, but only if IPv6 kernel module is loaded (which is the default). On "service sshd restart" I see the following in /var/log/secure: Jan 3 06:20:09 gw sshd[29213]: Server listening on :: port 22. Jan 3 06:20:09 gw sshd[29213]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use.
