I'm having a few difficulties installing a client for our Irix 6.4 server orion. I have added relevant services to /etc/services and the appropriate inetd line for this machine, as can be seen below, however all I get is the exit status line reported by inetd. Nothing is logged to /tmp/amanda. It doesn't appear as if .amandahosts is a problem, since it doesn't look like amandad is starting at all ...
