Hi I have re compiled amanda client on the server that sits outside of
my LAN with the following port range. --with-udpportrange=1100,11030 

Thus you stating that it must be a system udp port range i.e < 1023 

If So I have Unassigned range -f 1001-1009 So I would use this when I re
compile a udp system port range --with-udpportrange=1001,1009 Does the
tcp port range stay the same. --with-tcpportrange=1100,11030 .

My IPChain example.

ipchains -A input -p udp -i -s $193.XXX.XXX.XXX{AMANDA_CLIENT} 1001:1009
--dport $192.168.1.XXX{AMANDA_SERVER} -j ACCEPT

ipchains -A input -p tcp -i -s $193.XXX.XXX.XXX {AMANDA_CLIENT}
10080:10083 --dport $192.168.1.XXX{AMANDA_SERVER} -j ACCEPT
