inetd[xxxxxxx]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use

Dear alpha colleagues,

today's problem is that my 5.1B (1st patch) cluster (ES40 + ES45),
works fine (ssh connections are available on both members),
BUT ....
both members write the following error messages in their
daemon.debug syslog files:

............. inetd[xxxxxxx]: ssh/tcp: bind: Address already in use

where xxxxxxx is the pid of the inetd running on the specific member.
The above messages are posted exactely every 600 seconds.

I checked both members crontabs but they are not guilty.
I don't use any clusterwide crontab.
I have modified /etc/inetd.conf to use tcp_wrappers:

ssh stream tcp nowait root /sicurezza/tcp_wrapper/tcpd sshd -i

and tcp_wrappers works properly (as well as sshd which permits
connections)

At boot time sshd is automatically started on both members via
/sbin/rc3.d/S34sshd
sshd is "SSH Secure Shell Tru64 UNIX 3.2.0" as found in the O.S.

I don't use CAA for connections:
caa_stat -t

Name Type Target State Host
