owner is amandabackup:disk I can log in to the account just fine, I don't think any more logging is possible though I'll check. I checked the manifest for the service and it confirms that it is SUPPOSED to start as amandabackup.
If I do what you say, and log into amandabackup and run that, I get the following on /tmp/amanda/amandad/amandad.TIMESTAMP.debug: 1242737635.958239: amandad: pid 9504 ruid 6028 euid 6028 version 2.6.1: start at Tue May 19 14:53:55 2009 1242737635.989035: amandad: security_getdriver(name=bsdtcp) returns ff31c788 1242737635.992943: amandad: version 2.6.1 1242737635.992955: amandad: build: VERSION="Amanda-2.6.1" 1242737635.992961: amandad: BUILT_DATE="Mon May 18 12:33:06 CEST 2009" 1242737635.992967: amandad: BUILT_MACH="sparc-sun- solaris2.10" BUILT_REV="1609" 1242737635.992973: amandad: BUILT_BRANCH="amanda-261" CC="/ opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc" 1242737635.992979: amandad: paths: bindir="/bin" sbindir="/sbin" libexecdir="/libexec" 1242737635.992984: amandad: amlibexecdir="/libexec/amanda" mandir="/share/man" 1242737635.992990: amandad: AMANDA_TMPDIR="/tmp/amanda" AMANDA_DBGDIR="/tmp/amanda" 1242737635.992995: amandad: CONFIG_DIR="/etc/amanda" DEV_PREFIX="/dev/dsk/" 1242737635.993000: amandad: RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/rdsk/" DUMP="/ usr/sbin/ufsdump" 1242737635.993005: amandad: RESTORE="/usr/sbin/ufsrestore" VDUMP=UNDEF VRESTORE=UNDEF 1242737635.993011: amandad: XFSDUMP=UNDEF XFSRESTORE=UNDEF VXDUMP=UNDEF VXRESTORE=UNDEF 1242737635.993016: amandad: SAMBA_CLIENT="/usr/sfw/bin/ smbclient" 1242737635.993021: amandad: GNUTAR="/usr/sfw/bin/gtar" COMPRESS_PATH="/usr/bin/gzip" 1242737635.993026: amandad: UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/usr/bin/gzip" LPRCMD="/usr/bin/lp" 1242737635.993032: amandad: MAILER=UNDEF listed_incr_dir="/ var/amanda/gnutar-lists" 1242737635.993037: amandad: defs: DEFAULT_SERVER="galadhrim" DEFAULT_CONFIG="DailySet1" 1242737635.993042: amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_SERVER="galadhrim" DEFAULT_TAPE_DEVICE="" 1242737635.993047: amandad: HAVE_MMAP NEED_STRSTR HAVE_SYSVSHM AMFLOCK_POSIX AMFLOCK_LOCKF 1242737635.993053: amandad: AMFLOCK_LNLOCK SETPGRP_VOID AMANDA_DEBUG_DAYS=4 BSD_SECURITY 1242737635.993058: amandad: USE_AMANDAHOSTS CLIENT_LOGIN="amandabackup" CHECK_USERID 1242737635.993063: amandad: HAVE_GZIP COMPRESS_SUFFIX=".gz" COMPRESS_FAST_OPT="--fast" 1242737635.993069: amandad: COMPRESS_BEST_OPT="--best" UNCOMPRESS_OPT="-dc" 1242737635.997381: amandad: getpeername returned: Socket operation on non-socket 1242737635.997434: amandad: pid 9504 finish time Tue May 19 14:53:55 2009 so it does seem like as inetd problem and not amanda.
