This says amandad failed for some reason and inetd got tired of it doing
that so disabled the service. It will re-enable it after 10 minutes or
if you HUP inetd.
So the question is, why is amandad unhappy. Here are some things
to check:
* What does your inetd.conf line look like? In particular, did you
spell the path properly to amandad? Did you set argv[0]?
* Is /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug being updated?
* What happens if you run amandad (use the path **exactly** as it is
in inetd.conf) by hand, **as the Amanda user**? It should sit there
for 30 seconds and then terminate, and /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug
should be updated.
* Try removing /tmp/amanda completely. It may have gotten incorrect
permissions or ownership at some point.
