It didn't change the outcome if I set the user to amanda or the group = disk. Also, I do have a amidxtape entry, I just forgot to put it in the original entry: amidxtape 10083/tcp Do I need a port entry in xinetd if its in /etc/services? Here are the results of nmap: Port State Service 22/tcp open ssh 10082/tcp open amandaidx 10083/tcp open amidxtape Is this all I should see? /var/log/xinetd.log is not very helpful.

Also you do not have amidxtape in /etc/services and no port specified in xinetd.conf. Maybe add an explicit 'disable = no' ?
