Aside from several ports around 10080 (not just 10080) which are used for initial contact, amanda needs some udp and tcp ports for control communications and data transfer. The number of ports is, I believe, dependent on the number of clients and the max number of simultaneous dumps. If you want to restrict amanda to only a certain port range, it must be compiled with that knowledge. For further info visit the docs directory of your amanda source or visit the documentation page at amanda.org. Look for the document called Port.Usage. -- Jon H.
