Hi Terri - I think if you want to lock it down you will need to recompile Amanda on both the server and client with the following arguments: --with-portrange=start,finish --with-udpportrange=start,finish e.g. --with-portrange=1200,1250 --with-udpportrange=1200,1250 then you can open up that port range on your firewall. If you have some specific questions I might be able to answer them off list if necessary. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doug Silver Network Manager Urchin Corporation http://www.urchin.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
