I am having problems getting amcheck to return happy:

sudo -u amanda amcheck -c fullbackup

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: royal.inse.lucent.com: selfcheck request timed out.  Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.011 seconds, 1 problem found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4)

royal is also the server.

Here are the relevant lines from /etc/services:
amanda          10080/udp            # amanda backup services
kamanda         10081/tcp            # amanda backup services (Kerberos)
kamanda         10081/udp            # amanda backup services (Kerberos)
amandaidx       10082/tcp            # amanda backup services
amidxtape       10083/tcp            # amanda backup services

I ran the c program and obtained this output:

jlm17:royal:/tuxhome/jlm17 2309> ./a.out amanda udp
amanda/udp: 10080
jlm17:royal:/tuxhome/jlm17 2310> ./a.out amandaidx
amandaidx/tcp: 10082
jlm17:royal:/tuxhome/jlm17 2311> ./a.out amidxtape
amidxtape/tcp: 10083

Here is the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file:

service amanda
{
        socket_type     = dgram
        protocol        = udp
        wait            = yes
        user            = amanda
        group           = amanda
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/libexec/amandad
        # You need to ensure this points to your Amanda server!
        # Don't just remove it!
        only_from           = royal
        disable         = no
}

service amandaidx
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amanda
        group           = amanda
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/libexec/amindexd
        # You need to ensure this points to your Amanda server!
        # Don't just remove it!
        only_from           = royal
        disable         = no
}

service amidxtape
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amanda
        group           = amanda
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/libexec/amidxtaped
        # You need to ensure this points to your Amanda server!
        # Don't just remove it!
        only_from           = royal
        disable         = no
}

There are no error messages from xinetd regarding amanda in /var/log/syslog.

ls -lu /usr/libexec/amandad

royal.inse.lucent.com jlm17_westford //dd439/jlm17_westford fulldump

I have double checked my /etc/amandapass and it looks fine.

Thanks.
