You need an entry for root (in addition to amanda) in your .amandahosts and/or you need to make sure (x)inetd has entries for amindexd and amidxtaped and/or you need to allow connections for amindexd and amidxtaped in TCP wrappers and/or you need to make sure your firewall allows incoming TCP traffic on ports 10082 and 10083. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
