I wish it were that simple. Maybe I'm missing something, but what is wrong with this (3 seperate files, each with the same name as the service): # default: on # description: The amanda service service amanda { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = backup group = backup groups = yes server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad } #default: on # description: The amanda index service service amandaidx { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = backup group = backup groups = yes server = /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd } #default: on # description: The amanda tape service service amidxtape { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = backup group = backup groups = yes server = /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped } Oh, and all those paths are valid. -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Buckinghamshire, England
