Actually, you're getting a bit **too** much :-).

Actually, there are some subtle differences. Please post the xinetd
config file you're using. I'm most suspicious of a problem with it.
There have been numerous "issues" here recently.

Specifically what they are saying is that amcheck sent the SERVICE request
(and so on) to amandad, amandad sent back the response (the OK lines),
but what it got back was not an ACK to the response but a repeat of
the request. The repeat is normal when amcheck has waited 30 seconds
and doesn't think the client has responded. But I don't know why it
would think that.
Do you have a /tmp/amanda/amcheck*debug file on the server? Is there
anything of interest in it?
