service amanda
{
        socket_type     = dgram
        protocol        = udp
        wait            = yes
        user            = operator
        server          = /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad
}

should work. Be sure to allow amanda in /etc/hosts.allow for the server host,
xinetd will usually check that file and /etc/hosts.deny.

Remember to send xinetd a "reload" signal, SIGUSR2 on older versions,
SIGHUP on recent versions such as xinetd 2.3.12.

I am still using Amanda from inetd, convenience.
