Incredible Llama Question

[Myles Uyema]

Look up the "auth" service in /etc/services
Look up the "auth" service in /etc/inetd.conf

This has nothing to do with named.  What this message is telling you is
that the auth/tcp service could not bind to the socket (port 113).  This
usually means something is already bound to it, such as a standalone
identd/auth server.  Look in your process table for excess in.identd or
identd processes.

OK here's my llama question of the day (don't laugh too hard OK?)

Got a fresh install of RH running and I'm noticing an entry in the logs
about every ten minutes showing:

Sep 20 10:54:06 localhost inetd[14190]: auth/tcp: bind: Address already in use

(NOTE: named seems to be running fine, but is there something here trying
to restart it every 10 minutes?)

I suspected that it was a cron job of sorts but couldn't find where it was
being initiated. It doesn't appear to be causing any problems, but I'm
trying to find out what might be wrong or at least understand why it's
coming up. (sorry for my ignorance, I've been away for awhile and my LINUX
skills are rusty big-time)

Cool explanations welcome. Hints for where to learn more about how to
understand what the log is telling me here appreciated. 

Thanks for your patience :)
	Erich
