Hi,

my amanda file in /etc/xinet.d/ looks exactly like this, the options are set 
correctly, too. I am not running inetd, only xinetd.
Only the localhost (backup03m) is not passed correctly in amcheck, other hosts 
are ok.
I tried the disklist file with 'localhost' instead of 'backup03m': The amcheck 
passes, but i get errors in starting amrecover, that backup03m isn't in 
disklist.
To me it seemed easier to change 'localhost' to 'backup03m' in the disklist 
file than change anything else in the configuration.
But why can't amcheck connect to the host it is running on?

Nice greetings,
Christoph
