Aside from several ports around 10080 (not just 10080) which are
used for initial contact, amanda needs some udp and tcp ports for
control communications and data transfer.  The number of ports
is, I believe, dependent on the number of clients and the max
number of simultaneous dumps.  If you want to restrict amanda to
only a certain port range, it must be compiled with that knowledge.

For further info visit the docs directory of your amanda source
or visit the documentation page at amanda.org.  Look for the
document called Port.Usage.
