Thats odd, Michael.  I've had no such problems here on a rh8.0 
system, currently up to kernel 2.4.21-pre3, with the same 2.3.7-5 
xinetd.

Couple of questions.  Is the .amandhosts file up to date, and perms 
set for 0600?  And are you using individual files for amanda in 
xinetd.d, or one merged one?  I don't think it makes any diff, I 
use a merged all in one file for that here, listing all 3 services 
in one file.

Is there a timeout, where the zombie disappears eventually?

Thats about my best shot.  I'm not an expert, I just play one as a 
almost-retired tv engineer. :)
