There's your problem -- the service isn't running. Maybe an xinetd
upgrade changed the functionality such that the three services in one
file method doesn't work any longer. In any case, break your
/etc/xinetd.d/amanda file into three files -- amanda, amandaidx, and
amidxtape -- and restart xinetd. All three services should then show up
in the above output.

Well, I'm paranoid, so I always set up both ipchains and
hosts.{allow,deny} fairly tightly. Of course, I'm also in academentia,
where every host (just about) is connected to the Big Bad Internet.
