Yes u are right. the settings in amanda-client.conf still has /dev/null in
server site. By default that file will be created during installation. When
I was playing around with amanda I copied that file into my amanda path
/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1 but I did not do it for client. Can I ask
something here?. Do we need to set amanda-client.conf either in server or
client? As far I as know the server will contact client via xinetd service.

This is xinetd in client:
service amanda
{
       only_from       = server.domain.com
       socket_type     = dgram
       protocol        = udp
       wait            = yes
       user            = amanda
       group           = disk
       groups          = yes
       server          = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
       server_args     = -auth=bsd amdump
       disable         = no
}

The "only_from" part will determine the tape or index server which client
will contact to. Do we still need the amanda-client.conf file? I am a bit
confused. I have experienced amanda for 2 months and still learning. please
advise.
