amanda using tcpd daemon

[Marc Cuypers]

Hi,

I'm using debian woody, amanda 2.4.2.

I'm only backing up the server to a local tape device.

I got the following problems.
In inetd.conf are the following lines:
	amandaidx stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
	amidxtape stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd 
/usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
	amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad

Everything is OK.

After changing those lines to and 'kill -HUP <pid of inetd>':

	amandaidx stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
	amidxtape stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd 
/usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
	amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amandad

Now amcheck gives me the message that the client host is down.

Changing back to the first version of inetd.conf and doing  'kill -HUP 
<pid of inetd>' doesn't resolve the problem.  Only after rebooting 
everything works again.

In my hosts.allow is the following:

        ALL: ulysses.lan.publivandyck.be
        ALL: ulysses.lan.ulysses.be
        ALL: localhost
What could cause the need to reboot?
Why doesn't it work with tcpd?
Marc.
