I've got some improvements, i tried to compile amanda again and specify

got those errors is that, my firewalls didn't allow the other ports that
amanda uses when dumping since i got so many hosts to backup. Just a
question is that safe to wider more the tcpportrange and udpportrange?
Could it be a security risk to do it?
Considering that you need to have *some* ports open anyway, I don't see
how opening a few more ports would increase the security risk. Of course
it is wise to write the firewall rules to specifically allow Amanda
traffic only between Amanda server and client(s), not just "any" hosts.
