Fresh install of Fedora Core 3 and SSH crashes on startup with the following error (snipped from /var/log/secure): Dec 1 05:47:53 slave1 sshd[2390]: Server listening on :: port 22. Dec 1 05:47:53 slave1 sshd[2390]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use.
What the heck is going on here and how do I fix it? I use my linux box through an SSH-tunneled VNC session from work for the most part because my wife is jealous of my computer. ;-)
Seriously, I need to be able to ssh into my box and work... any ideas? Thanks.
Seems like you already have sshd running (as I have the same message and no probs logging into my box). What does
ps axuwww | grep -i sshd
say? If the server crashes on startup, what is the message when you try to start it with
service sshd start
