Do you use /etc/amanda instead of the common /usr/local/etc/amanda?
I have to adjust this then.
You are right, should be consistent with the rest of the docs.

Please tell me what that tcpserver-step does do, I don't have this
binary here and I am afraid other amanda-users don't have this one as
well.
The tcpserver program (a part of ucspi-tcp package,
http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html) is a standard TCP wrapper for
daemontools-enabled servers.
So I think you can safely leave it, as anybody using daemontools
will probably have it anyway.

Same question for nc ....
Standard daemontools setup does not assume setting up UDP services. So it lacks
an udp super-server. But many people I asked mentioned netcat:
http://netcat.sourceforge.net/. Also the ucspi-tcp page mentions it.
And, LBNL, netcat is packaged for most major Linux distros.
So I use it for amanda server when I don't want to fire up (x)inetd.
Please try to use common binaries or at least specify your OS, then I
may add your small HOWTO as an OS-specific hack.
This _will_ work for any recent Linux and *BSD, _should_ work for any
POSIX-compliant OS.
I realize it may sound a bit messy, but actually it is "the Way":)
If it's not clear - never mind - I'll publish a howto somewhere, with full
explanation, to straighten things up:)
Grüsse,
Filip
