It will be reported in the /var/log/messages file, so a "tail -f 
/var/log/messages" will watch that file from another shell window and 
you'll see it there.

It should look something like this:

Dec 21 13:42:17 coyote xinetd[6855]: Exiting...
Dec 21 13:42:17 coyote xinetd: xinetd shutdown succeeded
Dec 21 13:42:18 coyote xinetd[6876]: xinetd Version 2.3.11 started 
with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
Dec 21 13:42:18 coyote xinetd[6876]: Started working: 9 available 
services
Dec 21 13:42:20 coyote xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded

3 of those are the amanda daemons, the other 6 are non security stuffs 
mostly as I'm behind a firewall whose only response from the network 
side is a report that the ident port is closed.  Locked up pretty 
tight in other words. :)  iptables, when its right, is right.
