Subject: amandahostsauth failed

The problem was amandaidx from xinetd.

Now the error message looks like:
(root)#amrecover -C myconfig -s 192.168.0.2
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.4p1. Contacting server on 192.168.0.2 ...
220 backup AMANDA index server (2.4.4p2) ready.
500 Access not allowed: [access as amanda not allowed from root@server] 
amandahostsauth failed
