Lance,

I took your advice, but didn't get much back:

/tmp/amanda/amandad.debug:
[defaults yada yada]
amandad: time 30.004: dgram_recv: timeout after 30 seconds
amandad: error receiving message: timeout
amandad: time 30.007: error receiving message: timeout
amandad: time 30.007: pid 2316 finish time Thu Sep  4 12:01:58 2003

All in all, pretty normal. I ran this both as root and as user 'amanda' with
the same result. No entries in the general message file either.
