Amanda connects to random unpriviledged ports on the client. These are my iptables rules on amanda clients: -A INPUT -p udp -s $SERVER -d 0/0 --dport 10080 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s $SERVER -d 0/0 --dport 1025:65535 -j ACCEPT The first one says "allow all UDP traffic incoming to port 10080 from $SERVER". The second says "allow all TCP traffic incoming to any unpriviledged port from $SERVER". -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
