Strange xinetd error --> logfile 130MB in 30 min

[Griffith]

I'm using logwatch (not sure of the name) to scan the logfiles and mail it to me.. suddenly I got a mail that was 126MB... and when I looked at it.. /var/log/messages was filled with this:

service ftp, accept: Invalid argument (errno = 22)
service poppassd, accept: Invalid argument (errno = 22)
service auth, accept: Invalid argument (errno = 22)

Any ideas what causes this.. not a good sign when it fills my logfile with 126MB with that.....

Ideas

The reason of this issue is that you had multiple instances of xinetd running at the same time.

I have detected this issue on some servers with FC3 and Plesk 7.5.4

I don't know if it's a Plesk or a Fedora issue.

If Im not wrong it was a problem caused by watchdog.. I'm rid of it now
