Re: amrecover: cannot connect to host (connection refused)
After looking at this some more, I can't figure out why we are not using the Amanda stream_client function which already does all the right things (and does **not** bind specific host addresses). So if someone who's having this problem could give the following a try instead of the previous attempt and let me know, I'd appreciate it. John R.

So there isn't anyone listening any more. I don't know how xinetd does it, but other versions of inetd will reenable a service after (e.g.) 10 minutes, or if you HUP them. >Sebastian John R.

Re: amrecover: cannot connect to host (connection refused)
I was getting connection refused on amrecover for a while. The
.amandahosts file allowed access to root@localhost, but amrecover would
use root@servername and fail. My solution was to use the server name
explicitly in both .amandahosts and disklist.
Hope this help one of your problems. :)
