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

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
}



Just to check, if you remove the only_from line, does it work?

I commented out the only_from line from all three amanda services but itdoes not work.

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

When I restart xinetd I only get the [OK],but I get these lines in/var/log/syslog:

Note that I do not get any lines about removing amanda services.

What does it way when you start it up? On RedHat it'll tell you how manyservices are available...
There is nothing in /tmp. I'm not sure if my amanda configuration woulduse /tmp for anything. There is no amandad*debug file anywhere on thecomputer.
If you're not getting anything in /tmp/amanda, then amandad isn't evenstarting up. Is ipchains/iptables getting in the way? What's the outputof 'netstat -ln | grep 10080'?

netstat -ln | grep 10080
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:10080           0.0.0.0:*

As far as I know I do not have any iptables stuff turned on. I don'teven have the iptables userland tools installed. I have turned it on inthe kernel, though.
