Ok, got it working. Re-installed with user=bin and group=sys and
still had problems.
Eventually found that /usr/local/libexec had owner of root and
protections of 700, preventing root, and probably earlier amanda
usernames from executing the daemon.
Unfortunately I've run into the other problem, inetd reporting
a loop problem when I installed 2.4.2p2 (upgrade from 2.4.1p1)
on a Solaris 2.6 client of the same server. Changing the inetd
-r parameter did not resolve that issue for me so if anyone would
has any ideas...
TIA
Brian
