I'm not a sol expert, thats others territory, but I suspect that if 
there is a firewall (iptables or a lookalike) involved, you will have 
to cut a hole in it to allow amanda to talk to her clients and vice 
versa.  I think there are others here who can tell you generally what 
to do though.

Well, you have hit the nail on the head.

The server in question is running iptables and the rulesets are configured to 
allow NEW connections from any host on a given subnet, call it subnet A, to udp 
port 10080 and tcp ports 10082 and 10083. The server and the Linux clients are 
all running amanda from an RPM installation, and they are backing up just fine.

The Solaris box's Amanda was built from source and though it's on subnet A with 
the other Linux boxes, the iptables rules are the problem. I tried shutting 
them down and it backs up fine.

What's the best approach to get this Solaris instance working with my current 
iptable ruleset, or is that even possible?

Thanks again.
