Howdy.  I am using xinetd (RH 7.2) w/amanda, and I actually have all three of
the following:

/etc/xinetd.d/amanda:
#
# description: for amanda
#

service amanda
{
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = disk
        server                  = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
        disable                 = no
}

-------------

/etc/xinetd.d/amandaidx:
#
# description: for amandaidx
#

service amandaidx
{
        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = disk
        server                  = /usr/local/libexec/amindexd
        disable                 = no
}

-------------

/etc/xinetd.d/amidxtape
#
# description: for amidxtape
#

service amidxtape
{
        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = disk
        server                  = /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
        disable                 = no
}


And don't forget /etc/services:

amanda          10080/tcp                       # amanda backup services
amanda          10080/udp                       # amanda backup services
kamanda         10081/tcp                       # amanda backup services 
(Kerberos)
kamanda         10081/udp                       # amanda backup services 
(Kerberos)
amandaidx       10082/tcp                       # amanda backup services
amidxtape       10083/tcp                       # amanda backup services
