[hylafax-users] 425 Cannot create data socket (127.0.0.1,4558): Address already in use

[Daryl Sayers <daryl@ci.com.au>]

I am having a random problem where I see this error message:

425 Cannot create data socket (127.0.0.1,4558): Address already in use.

It usually stops the fax server from running. If I do a netstat -a
there will be a non hylafax entry that is using port 4558. I can trace
it to an X server. If I get that user to log out and power off the fax
server will resume normal operation.

eg:
tcp        0      0  beret.4558             de144.6000             TIME_WAIT

My questions are:

. Why is the fax server trying to use 4558. I don't change any of the
  port defaults so I thought it should be using 4559. If I telnet to
  4559 hylafax answers.

. How do I stop the conflict.

I am using FreBSD 4.1 with the hylafax-4.1b2 binary packages.
