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.
