Yes. Let me be clear.. this backup server worked juuuust fine for backing up
its local disks, as well as a remote linux machine - This machine has been
restarted probably ten times during the course of this dialogue and I've
manually restarted inetd.conf plenty myself as well ;) Here's proof!
backup:~# netstat -na |grep 1008
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10083 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10082 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10080 0.0.0.0:*
To reiterate the situation: Backup machine w/ a tape drive, holding disk,
and samba, is trying to back up a linux machine and an NT share on a
separate computer. - The linux backup works just fine - The NT share is what
is screwing up amcheck (or so goes my theory) - I can paste in my amandapass
and amanda.conf and disklist files again if you'd like, but they haven't
changed since my original 'help!' email to the list. - if I remove the NT
share disklist entry (the entry is: backup //ntserver/sys/users nt-comp
where nt-comp is a dumptype I made that is 'user-tar' and 'compress server
fast') then the backup of the linux machine and amcheck goes off without a
hitch. - if I leave it in, the tape server check takes 20 seconds and
complains about nothing.. then there's a 15 second wait and I get the
'selfcheck request timed out. Host down?'. Do I have to mount the
//ntserver/sys share first? -- Is it Good and OK to pass a subdirectory to
the path to mount, or...?

No. There is ONLY the one file that I pasted into the last email to the
list.. it is /tmp/amanda/amcheck.{timestamp}.debug and it looks like this:
amcheck: debug 1 pid 619 ruid 34 euid 0 start time Thu Oct 4 15:24 :37 2001
amcheck: dgram_bind: sofket bound to 0.0.0.0.1008
amcheck: pid 619 finish time Thu Oct 4 15:25:07 2001
Again, many thanks for continued support,
