Ok I just setup a new server to test the port for amanda-client and I am getting the same problem as my production box. I also installed the port for xinetd to see if I could get it to work using it. It is a no-go, has anyone setup the amanda-client from port on a FreeBSD 4.9 box? If so could you point me in the right direction where to start after following the online docs on amanda's site? A very stupid question is do I have to install the server to get just a client to work? It does not seem I would have to since I am just wanting a client on this box to backup to my server but thought I would just ask since everyone on this user board is more fluent with this product then I am.
