Well, you may be missing stuff from a normal install, then.
On my server, I have an xinetd config for amanda that looks like:
# cat /etc/xinetd.d/amandaserver
# default: on
#
# description: Amanda services for Amanda server and client.
#
service amanda
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = amandabackup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}
service amanda
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amandabackup
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}
You may need to add something similar (and appropriate to your install).
Also, maybe check your firewall setup. I probably can't help much more than
that remotely.
