Nothing of interest in dmesg. The issue I reported earlier about

/var/log/messages has been there for a long time without me noticing

it. I'm in 2.6.23-rt1 and I still see it so it has nothing to do with

the kernel as I'm sure you decided already.
Jan 16 11:12:55 lightning sshd[5915]: Server listening on :: port 22.

Jan 16 11:12:55 lightning sshd[5915]: error: Bind to port 22 on

0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use.
Will continue testing as I get time.
Cheers,

Thanks,
Are you sure you don't see this when booting the vanilla kernel. Also, if

you do try a vanilla kernel, don't use the distro version. Use what ever

version of the -rt patch you used. ie. for 2.6.23-rt1 try out 2.6.23 with

the same config (with necessary updates).

Steve,

   I'll give it a try. I am pretty sure it's a distro specific issue

so I'm going to check with them about how to properly configure sshd.

It's likely jsut some oversight in one of my config files. Being a

Gentoo user we have more things like this that we have to look after.

Probably some update clobbered something and I just noticed it

recently.
   If I get a quick minute I'll build the 2.6.23 and take a look at that also.
Thanks,

Mark
