Look in /tmp/amanda/amandad.*.debug, it should show the configure
command used to build it. If you don't see
--with-tcpportrange=
--with-udpportrange=
then it is just using it's built-in defaults. According to PORT.USAGE
it first tries to use ports 512-1023, and if that fails it tries
1024+, for both UDP and TCP.
