Hello everyone:

My problem has resolved, I end up used drop down two version of amanda,
instead of using amanda-2.4.4p4 I downloaded amanda-2.4.4p2 tar file and
rerun configure -> make -> make install, after I regenerated new
"amandad" in /usr/local/libexec, my problem is resolved, I like to thank
everyone that have helped me, especially Brain and Paul.

Kevin

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.
The problem went away by RETYPING the line (not copy-paste, not 
patch-system  -- what is that anyway???).  (And after retyping it,
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.
