Be honest, those lines are generated by "patch-system", so I am not sure
what each line for. In the /etc/inetd.conf file, those lines are not
wrapped, it is because of cut and paste into email message that you see
lines are wrapped.

Let me rephrase that sentence that I politely formulated as
"But what is the first (wrapped) line doing there?":

    !!!! That line is wrong. !!!

And have you followed my suggestion to RETYPE the "amandad" line ?

We already know there is *something* wrong.  Until proven otherwise,
everything is suspect in such cases.  That's how you solve problems.
I had once the same problem, where a line APPEARED to be correct,
even when two other people could not point to any mistake on that line.

do a kill -hup on inetd too, of course.
You could at least try it once, and then come back to say it didn't help.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I ran "patch-system" command, so it actually created the entries in

"patch-system" added:

/etc/inetd.conf -

/usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped  midxtaped
amanda    dgram  udp wait   root /usr/local/libexec/amandad    amandad
amandaidx stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/amindexd

amindexd

amidxtape stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
amidxtaped

I hope the lines wrapped because of mailer issues.
The second line "amanda" seems correct.
But what is the first (wrapped) line doing there?

But I can't think of any reason why that would influence the "amandad"
line...
