This one is for the SSHD (secure shell) like telnet. It is just saying that the deamon is already running. If this is a workstation or you don't need access just turn off this service. There have been several attacks lately on this port.

Close, but not strictly correct. Only one sshd is started, but it is in conflict with itself. This message occurs because ipv6 is enabled and sshd opens a socket to listen on all addresses for connections to port 22 under both ipv6 and ipv4, which overlap.
Unless you need ipv6 networking the best thing to do is add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias net-pf-10 off
Then at the next boot ipv6 will be disabled, and the sshd log message will no longer occur.
