There should be a file /tmp/amanda/amandad.*.debug too.
That's the file that the client side creates with the debug info.
Its absence means that amandad (listening on port 10080 udp) is not
even started by (x)inetd. You should take a very very close look
at that line in the inetd config.
Have a look in /var/{log,adm}/messages too.
Maybe (temporarily) remove the tcpd wrapper, if you use it.
Disable any firewall (check ipchains AND iptables!).
If you have nc installed (because you need udp and not tcp)?
try sending a bogus command to the amandad daemon:
# echo | nc -u bragi 10080
Amanda 2.4 NAK HANDLE SEQ 0
ERROR expected "Amanda", got ""
^C <--- interrupt with Control-C
punt!
#
You can even try to start amandad up manually (but you want be
able to communicate with it), and trace it:
# strace /usr/local/libexec/amandad
...(many lines output removed)...
select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, {30, 0}
^C
