I have been trying to get this issue resloved all week, and finally
decided to ask others. I did searching on the web and tried what I
have read, but no success.

I am using Amanda 2.5.1. Yes, I know it is old, but it works. Well, it
had been working until I moved everything to a different machine. The
new machine is running Fedora 14. Amanda is built from source. I used
the configuration files (amanda.conf, disklist,...) from my old set
up. I am backing up the data to disk.  My linux backups work without
issue. My Windows boxes all fail with this error when running amcheck:
WARNING: tempserv1: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK

The planner debug file has lines like the following:
planner: time 0.099: connect_portrange: connect to 192.168.52.131.10080 failed:\
 Connection refused
planner: stream_client: Could not bind to port in range 50000 - 50040.
planner: stream_client: Could not bind to any port: Connection refused
security_seterror(handle=0x81d2ea0, driver=0xd27140 (BSDTCP) error=Connection r\

You try to use BSDTCP auth
I built the programs with configure options that included the following:
--with-udpportrange=850,854 --with-tcpportrange=50000,50040 
--with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient

I did copy over the .amandahosts file from the old machine to the
knew. I also made sure that xinetd amanda file was the same. Well,
here is the current one:

service amanda
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = operator
        group                   = root
        server                  = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
        server_args     = -auth=bsd amdump
}

but xinetd is configured for BSD auth
I dont think the one from the old machine had the -auth=bsd amdump lines.

The ip address, 192.168.52.131, is the localhost. Netstat show the following:
tcp        0      0 :::10082                    :::*                        LIST
EN
udp        0      0 :::10080                    :::*

So the ports are open. I have turned off iptables. Both 127.0.0.1 and
192.168.52.131 are in the hosts.allow file.

I do have other older fedora installs with the amanda 2.5.1 that are
able to talk to otehr windows boxes without issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try next. I think the
problem is simple, but I must have my blinders on and can't see the
solution.

Thanks
Which auth do you want to use? configure both the disklist and xinetd to use the same auth.

An xinetd file for bsdtcp:

service amanda
{
       disable = no
       socket_type             = stream
       protocol                = tcp
       wait                    = no
       user                    = operator
       group                   = root
       server                  = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
       server_args     = -auth=bsdtcp amdump
}
