While I'm building the latest release I thought I'd try specifying
portranges so I can tighten up some firewall rules.  My attempts
with an earlier version failed miserably (Amanda didn't like my port
ranges at runtime) but I recall seeing that issue was fixed.
   According to the 2.4.3 documentation (in docs/PORT.USAGE), I
should allocate the following numbers of ports:

TCP: Pick the max of (2 * inparallel) and (3 * largest maxdumps).
Allocate at least that many ports in the unprivileged (1024 or
larger) range.
UDP: Allocate at least "inparallel" many ports in the privileged
(1023 or smaller) range.

Is this correct, and should I add in some amount of extra ports?
