Hi Armando,

First an apology: you can't telnet to port 10080 because amandad uses UDP 
and telnet uses TCP. Sorry, my fault, I leapt before I looked...

Did you check your (x)inetd configuration? I don't know which one Slackware 
uses, but I suspect it's inetd. Make sure it starts amandad. Anyway, if 
your other hosts run fine, it should be enough to have the same 
configuration lines in /etc/inetd.conf. After you made inetd reread its 
configuration, check your logs for possible error messages. And while 
you're at it, check if the path to amandad is correct and that it is 
executable :)

If that's not it, check for hints in the debug files that Amanda leaves in 
/tmp/amanda.

And my personal favourite is to fire up a sniffer and simply check what goes 
on. Makes you understand a bit better what Amanda does anyway.

Kind regards,

Hans
