The reason I'm asking this is that the fact it is a bind: address already in use error, means the bind() call failed. So according to the networking stack that port is still bound. A netstat command on the remote server should definitely show this. The commands Greg listed (the lsof -i :1026 and netstat -antp) will give you this information. Remember to run the 2 commands as root (lsof needs to be root, and for netstat's -p to work as well). Further, you can also try: netstat -antpl | grep :1026 This will filter into only showing matching listening ports. I often do this because it's so easy to miss it among all those ports. Q
