This is what I did. get the amanda rpms from rawhide. Either binaries or
source. You can also get more information at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla or
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Red+Hat+Linux&version=7.0&component=amanda&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=CLOSED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&email1=&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailreporter2=1&changedin=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&short_desc=&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard=&cmdtype=doit&newqueryname=&order=Bug+Number+Ascending&form_name=query

The rpm from RedHat7 has a xinetd conf bug, this is fixed in the rawhide
release. There is one bug not fixed. The amanda user (operator) cannot
read ~operator/.amandahosts. The fix is to change operator's home
directory to something else, I used /operator.
I did this on a RH6.2 machine but it should work on RH7 also. On RH6.x
you also need to install xinetd. Contrary to someone elses' post, you
can run inetd and xinetd at the same time. They just cannot run the
same services.
Hope this helps...
