Just keep in mind that RHEL7 and 8 use systemd and don't run any inetd by default. I believe you can still install it and enable it if you like, but the versions of Amanda included with those operating systems use systemd socket activation. Those unit files should still work for you, with the possible caveat that you may have to change the path in the ExecStart line if your amandad doesn't install into /usr/sbin. Those unit files are identical to the ones from Fedora, which you can see here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/amanda/blob/master/f/amanda.socket https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/amanda/blob/master/f/amanda%40.service Of course, it may be prudent to ask why you aren't just using the amanda packages which come with the operating system. All I ever need to do to get it working is install amanda-client, make sure /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts is correct, and run: systemctl enable amanda systemctl start amanda Then I can add disklist entries on my server and everything works. But if course if you just want to self-compile then that's up to you. - J<
