Probably the simplest way to secure Amanda sockets would be just to instruct 
xinetd to only accept connections from the local host. But if you want to 
modify Amanda to not use TCP/IP sockets at all, then you can create a new 
plugin for the security API, to use UNIX domain sockets, shared memory, or 
what have you. That will be a fair amount of work, but might yield some 
performance gains as well.
