What does this message mean, and how to fix this?
I think it means that you haven't read the docs on how to configure
(x)inetd correctly.

Thanks for taking an interest, Stefan; that's what I thought, too. I wish it
were that simple. Maybe I'm missing something, but what is wrong with this
(3 seperate files, each with the same name as the service):
# default: on
# description: The amanda service
service amanda
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = backup
group = backup
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
add: server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}
#default: on
# description: The amanda index service
service amandaidx
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = backup
group = backup
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
}
#default: on
# description: The amanda tape service
service amidxtape
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = backup
group = backup
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
}
Oh, and all those paths are valid.
