That's what xinetd's log says in debug mode:

05/5/10@13:52:34: DEBUG: 20048 {main_loop} active_services = 1

In the usual log there is nothing. In the service specific log, I get

05/5/10@13:52:34: START: amanda pid=20147 from=192.168.1.135
05/5/10@13:52:34: FAIL: amanda address from=192.168.1.135

and I have

service amanda
{
socket_type             = dgram
protocol                = udp
wait                    = yes
user                    = amanda
group                   = amanda
groups                  = yes
server                  = /home/amanda/sillytest
log_type                = FILE /root/amanda/amanda.log
}

in my xinetd.conf file. The sillytest is just a dummy to see wether itgets called or not. I doesn't. So this isn't really an amanda problem.

lsof is telling me xinetd is really listening on service amanda, butit's doesn't call my test script (or even amandad)


The access right are definitely correct.

Sorry to bother you with this; my knowledge about these things is reallylimited.
