Hi Brian:
I am very new to amanda, but I think you have a missing argument in your
inetd.conf file. Mine has one more argument in each of those lines:
amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amindexd amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped amidxtaped
amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad
I do not know if this may help. Good luck... Ana Maria
