I rebooted the server and now amandad is fine. Amcheck and amdump run fine. To answer your questions:

no errors from inetconv
This is the companion CD install and I agree that smf examples would have made sense.


Thanks for everyone's thoughtful input. Now on to the next problem.

svcs -x shows:

Reason: Restarter svc:/network/inetd:default gave no explanation.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-9C
Impact: This service is not running.


Two possibilities come to mind:
        a.) Something in the service definition for svc:/network/amanda/udp
                is broken.  Check and compare the output from running
                inetadm -l against the three services.

        b.) You've discovered a bug in the new inetd implementation.
                Follow the instructions in the URL above and chase it
                down with Sun.

If this: <http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=24302> is you, then
I don't see anything obvious wrong with the service definition.



Does a pre-packaged version of amanda come on the Sol 10 companion CD? Possibly installing in /opt/sfw/...

I ask thinking that if they do, they might also have smf definitions
for amanda that you can compare to your own.
