How do I work out which ports the rpm is setup to use?
Would it be just a default high port?
Dean.

Unless you built Amanda to only use a certain port range, the
data is sent back to random high ports (the PORT.USAGE file in
the docs directory of the source has all the details). To run
Amanda through a firewall, you either need to build it with the
port range options and allow those ranges through your firewall,
allow all high ports through your firewall from your clients to
your server, or use an iptables firewall (the latest versions
have Amanda support buit in).
Which one you choose is based on the security needs of your
environment.
