On shop, the date on /etc/inetd.conf is nearly a year old and the only
active line in it is:
amanda stream tcp nowait backup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad -auth=bsdtcp
amdump>
This 'shop' machine also has an /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file that looks like this:
root@shop:/etc# cat xinetd.d/amanda
# default: on
# description: The amanda service
service amanda
{
# only_from = <coyote.coyote.den>
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = backup
group = backup
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
disable = no
}
On lathe, no inetd.conf exists

But xinetd.d does and contains this amanda file:
root@lathe:/etc# cat xinetd.d/amanda
# default: on
# description: The amanda service
service amanda
{
# only_from = <Amanda server>
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = backup
group = backup
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
disable = no
}
That is a fresh amanda-common and amanda-client install
Stopping xinetd on the shop box changed nothing.
Thanks Nathan.
Cheers, Gene
