Hi there!

I was just wondering if anyone has successfully configured amanda to
backup clients running xinetd rather than inetd!
If so could someone let me know what you need to put in /etc/xinetd.conf
'cos I'm really stumped, I've tried the following:

service amanda
{
        flags                           = REUSE NAMEINARGS
        socket_type                     = dgram
        protocol                        = udp
        wait                            = yes
        user                            = backup
        server                          = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
        server_args                     = amandad
}

And tried permutations of missing out the flags and server_args
arguments.  In all these cases when I run amcheck on the amanda
server it fails on this client with permission denied errors for each
disk and the dumpdates file.  Before you ask, no its not 
a permissions problem because when I use inetd with:

amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad

in /etc/inetd.conf it works fine!  The thing is I need to be using
xinetd and not inetd.  Can anyone help?

Ray.
