I am having problems getting amcheck to return happy:

sudo -u amanda amcheck -c fullbackup

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: royal.inse.lucent.com: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.011 seconds, 1 problem found


Here is the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file:

service amanda
{
        socket_type     = dgram
        protocol        = udp
        wait            = yes
        user            = amanda
        group           = amanda
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/libexec/amandad
        # You need to ensure this points to your Amanda server!
        # Don't just remove it!
        only_from           = royal
        disable         = no
}


Just to check, if you remove the only_from line, does it work?
I commented out the only_from line from all three amanda services but it 
does not work.


There are no error messages from xinetd regarding amanda in /var/log/syslog.

When I restart xinetd I only get the [OK],but I get these lines in 
/var/log/syslog:

Note that I do not get any lines about removing amanda services.
What does it way when you start it up?  On RedHat it'll tell you how many 
services are available...


There is nothing in /tmp. I'm not sure if my amanda configuration would 
use /tmp for anything. There is no amandad*debug file anywhere on the 
computer.


If you're not getting anything in /tmp/amanda, then amandad isn't even 
starting up.  Is ipchains/iptables getting in the way?  What's the output 
of 'netstat -ln | grep 10080'?

netstat -ln | grep 10080
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10080           0.0.0.0:*
As far as I know I do not have any iptables stuff turned on. I don't 
even have the iptables userland tools installed. I have turned it on in 
the kernel, though.
