You may have to cut a hole in shorewall for amanda.  I think there is 
something re that in the docs dir.  Or possible the docs for 
shorewall might have some usefull notes.  I'm running a firewall, 
iptables here, but its between the nic feeding the modem and that 
box, I'm on a seperate nic in that box so its not effecting me.  
Because of that, I don't have any amanda vs firewall experience at 
all.

Kinda seemed like the way to do it, and its worked very well, none of 
those network scanner tools can see my machine at all except for a 
closed ident port.  No response to anything else.
