I think that the idea is not to open ports via xinetd unless the relevant authentication mechanisms are in use. That is, enabling the xinetd entries is a post-install configuration operation. > Two other entries are in the xinetd list, as maintained by yast2: > /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd and /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped, but these are > not installed, at least not in the /usr/lib/amanda directory.

Those services are no longer used - all bsd* communication takes place via the amandad daemon. > Another small point is that amstatus gives an error: > " > fiume:~> amstatus daily_11.1 > Using /var/log/amanda/daily_11.1/amdump > From Sun Jan 18 17:01:02 CET 2009 > > Insecure dependency in printf while running with -T switch > at /usr/sbin/amstatus line 1016. > " > I will let you know if amdump terminates normally and if there are any > additional problems. Sounds good. That particular error is just due to overzealous application of perl's taint checking, and is nothing to worry about. You can remove the -T on line one (leave the -w).
