Hi,
    I've been running various versions
of amanda (client only) on my MacOS X (10.1-10.3)
over the last year or more. A couple weeks back it
broke without warning. I'm going to say it happened
during a System Update.

    Since then I grabbed 2.4.4p1 and compiled it
up. It does the same thing.

    The server (FreeBSD 4.9Stable, amanda 2.4.3b3)
connects and runs the gnutar check for size, then when
it runs, the Mac times out waiting for a random local
port.

Here's a sendback...debug

Temporarily, I've changed it to use samba to back up
the data, but I'd rather do it the 'right' way.

I'm just on digest.

Thanks,
Paul.
