No error messages, I count 4 xinetd services "on" and 4 available services
in /var/log/messages (above)

Of course it's not interesting...I opened the wrong &*#@($! file!! :-) But
this isn't getting to me, really...ugh
amindexd*debug looks more like this:

amindexd: debug 1 pid 1601 ruid 502 euid 502 start time Mon Jun  3 13:54:37
2002
amindexd: version 2.4.2p2
getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket
amindexd: pid 1601 finish time Mon Jun  3 13:54:37 2002

Is that interesting?

After I restart xinetd and try to amrecover, I first get:
[root@slaw amanda]# amrecover uadaily
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on slaw.unterlaw.com ...
amrecover: Error reading line from server: Connection reset by peer

So your looping theory is correct, sir.

But why am I looping? (I'm getting to be like a 5 year old. The more
questions you answer, the more questions I have?!)
