Well i would use rpm but I compiles the tar ball for this install due to
major problems I had with the amanda rpm once before. Could this possily be
just a bad xinetd file enty here are my xinetd entries for the amanda
programs:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
service amandaidx
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = operator
group = root
server = /usr/local/libexec/amindexd
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the amanda server package
#
service amidxtape
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = operator
group = root
server = /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
# default: on
# description: the client daemon for Amanda backups
service amanda
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = operator
group = root
server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
}
