Sorry, I should have been more specific.

Look carefully! There is an "a" too much: amanAda*
The program is called Amanda!

anders@anderslinux:~> grep aman /etc/inetd.conf
# amanda backup server with indexing capabilities

Hello everyone, After several ours of searching the web I still cannot solve my problem. amcheck does not find the file in /etc. I am using inetd (not xinetd) to run the client locally. All the rights for the user (amanda.amanda) are correct. I am able to run all commands and read all the files from the command line.

...

ERROR: anderslinux: [cannot find password for //jwworkstation1/KHELG20024] ERROR: anderslinux: [can not read/write /etc/amandates: No such file or directory] ERROR: anderslinux: [unable to open /etc/amandapass: No such file or directory]

What does "ls -l /etc/amanda*" say exactly?
What is the line in inetd.conf for amandad?
