Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
I am looking for a way to run amandad by itself without
getting started by Mandrake's xinetd.

Thanks

Is mandrake 8.0 still using inetd?  In which case I think there are 
instructions in the doc directory of the archive unpack.

As a side comment though, xinetd is considered to be more secure, so 
you might consider updating the distribution to one that does use 
it.
