Hi!

I've read in the mailinglist archive, that I've got to recompile amanda 
with the option "--with-tcpportrange=X,Y" and 
"--with-udpportrange=xxx,yyy" to let the Amanda Backup Server access the 
client behind the firewall. Before that I've got to open these ports on my 
firewall.

My questions:
- What are the standard/default values, if you omiss these options during 
compilitation? Or is instead a random port used?

- Do I really need to use "--with-udpportrange=xxx,yyy", if I only want to
backup the client and don't need a connection from my amanda client to the
index server

- How big has this portrange to be? Are three ports enough or am I able to
use only one? Are there any further restrictions like the portrange has to 
be below/above a certain number (I've noticed amanda using 3503 to 3505 to 
send the backups).

I'm using 2.4.19 Kernel. Is there a firewall rule to get Amanda working
without recompiling it?

Thnx & Bye,
Simon
