    This is the same question and same answer as encountered on FC2 with the
    2.6 kernel because support was added for ipv6.

    sshd is starting up and listening on all ipv6 addresses, then goes to
    listen on all ipv4 addresses and finds it is already doing so because
    the ipv6 scope includes the ipv4 scope.
    This is not a problem. If you do not need ipv6 you may disable it and
    avoid other potential pitfalls by adding the following line to
    /etc/modprobe.conf:
    alias net-pf-10 off

    And then rebooting. Yes, this is a rare Linux scenario where a reboot
    is necessary to make a change.

    If you do need ipv6 then just ignore the message.
