Actually it is worse than that - RedHat 7 on a fresh install doesn't use
inetd at all, but replaces it
with xinetd, and /etc/xinetd.conf. Not sure what the upgrade would have
done, but you may no longer be running inetd at all.
The xinetd.conf file as installed by RedHat sucks - it has no commented-out
examples of each service, instead is almost completely blank. The man page
seems to be enough to work with, but I have not yet got it functioning
fully with amanda - there is a conversion utility (inetdconvert or
something like that) which may convert your old inetd.conf to a working
xinetd.conf.
So far I have amcheck communicating with amanda client using xinetd.conf,
but a complete failure on the actual backup communication. I have not
debugged it any further and won't because I am moving anything 7.0 back to
6.2 asap anyway, having concluded for myself that 7.0 is a horrible release
and one more like this I will be running turbo linux or BSD., not redhat.
