Error Message!!

Almost certainly, something is already using port 873 - probably a 
previous invocation of rsync --daemon, or you have inetd listening to it 
already.
On a commandline invocation, rsync forks, so invoking it twice in a row 
without killing the first one or having the first one die, makes the 
second invocation fail, unless you specify different ports for each one.

In this example, rsync is run from inetd, though not active at the moment.

When rsync starts I get the following messages in my log file

Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync: bind failed on port 873
Jan 11 11:00:04 WEB1 rsyncd[31281]: rsync error: error in socket IO (code
10) at socket.c(361)

Anybody know what might be causing this?
