Puzzle, first I had to install it! Then got a report ending here:
Service defaults
Bind = All addresses.
Only from: All sites
No access: No blocked sites
No logging
Service configuration: amanda
id = amanda
flags = IPv4
socket_type = dgram
Protocol (name,number) = (udp,17)
port = 10080
wait = yes
user = 34
group = 34
Groups = yes
PER_SOURCE = -1
Bind = All addresses.
Server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
Server argv = amandad -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
Only from: All sites
No access: No blocked sites
No logging
14/7/18@11:27:40: DEBUG: 3748 {cnf_start_services} Started service: amanda
14/7/18@11:27:40: DEBUG: 3748 {cnf_start_services} mask_max = 6,

14/7/18@11:27:40: NOTICE: 3748 {main} xinetd Version 2.3.14 started with
libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
14/7/18@11:27:40: NOTICE: 3748 {main} Started working: 1 available service

But running an amcheck on the server didn't get any further output than
what you see above. And got the same results, connection refused.
But I see an auth=bsd, where it should be bsdtcp. Fixed that, restarted
xinetd, no change in amcheck report, lathe still refused connection. the
amanda file in xinetd.d wasn't touched. So we are a bit closer, but no
biscuit. Next?
Thank you John.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
