Hi List

I had a look on the amanda client less /tmp/amanda

less  amandad.20060213153537.debug

Here is the debug report:
----
Amanda 2.4 REQ HANDLE 003-E0990808 SEQ 1139841004
SECURITY USER amanda
SERVICE noop
OPTIONS features=fffffeff9ffe0f;
----

amandad: time 9.815: it is not an ack
amandad: time 9.815: sending REP packet:
----
Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 003-E0990808 SEQ 1139841004
ERROR [host fw.my.co.uk: port ***** not secure]
----

amandad: time 18.975: got packet:
----
Amanda 2.4 REQ HANDLE 003-E0990808 SEQ 1139841004
SECURITY USER amanda
SERVICE noop
OPTIONS features=fffffeff9ffe0f;
----

amandad: time 18.975: it is not an ack
amandad: time 18.975: sending REP packet:

Thus I assume I need to add rules for the Firewall server:

Any examples or notes

Cheers
