Amandad is not a continually running daemon. It only starts up when you run one of the am programs. Do a "netstat" to see if amanda is listed in the registered services.

I have amanda in the /etc/services file and in the /etc/inetd.conf file. amandad does not start when the computer is rebooted but no error messages are reported in /var/log/messages. I can run amandad from the command line as user "amanda" and it will creat the /tmp/amanda/debug.amanda directory and debug file before timing out. Any ideas on how to debug why inetd won't start amandad? Thanks Brian Davidson DynCorp Treasury Integration Group 11710 Plaza America Dr. Reston, VA 20190 703-261-4694 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
