Stefan,

I tried you're example and other examples for the xinetd.conf file and
nothing worked.  I'm thinking the OS is a bit old and needs upgrading.
(Redhat 7 and Redhat 8)
Old version of amanda 2.4.4p1 worked.
Maybe I'll try 2.4.4p4

Thanks again.

Found something else in the archives (yes, I do look them up ;-) ):

Recheck your /etc/xinetd.d-entries for the amanda-relevant files, and
also recheck the "server = ... " lines for proper paths.

Maybe you have installed the new binaries to another path and missed to
adjust the xinetd-files.

Also check the "also_from = ..." lines for proper setup.

No need to say you need to restart xinetd after any changes...

Stefan.
