I've used amanda for several years. Now when I run amcheck (or amdump) the 
selfcheck request times out, but only on the server itself. It used to 
work -- I did something that killed it, but I can't remember or figure out 
what it was.

.amandahosts contains several permutations of the hostname, localhost, and 
even the IP address. I copied a .amandahosts file from a working client.

amandad is set to run as user amanda, group disk by xinetd. In the amanda 
FAQ-o-Matic, I saw somebody say it should run as root. It made no 
difference.

nmap's UDP scan says port 10080 is open. I tried running amandad manually 
and amcheck before it times out and quits. 

tcpdump shows packets on loopback going to the amanda port, but no 
response. Looking at the LAN NIC, I see packets going to other clients, 
but with lots of response.

I've removed and reinstalled the amanda package (Gentoo unmerge, emerge).

I've created new configurations.

Everything else on the system seems to be working (except amrestore, etc.). 
I can connect to the smtp, ftp, Webmin, and Apache servers on localhost.

Ideas? Is there something I can do to get verbose debugging output 
somewhere?
