Unfortunately this is nearly identical to what I have (save the disable=no
which didn't make things go). I've found that I can run amandad by hand and
it acts as predicted (timing out after 30 seconds) but it still isn't being
called from xinetd. Another curious problem is that in the faq it says to do
a
netstat -a | grep -i amanda
and that this should return something. I get nothing when I do this.
/etc/services has a listing for amanda and kamanda etc...
I'm even more lost now than I was 20 minutes ago... :)
Thanks for taking a swing at it Dirk,
If anyone else has any ideas, I'd be thrilled to hear them!
