After some helpful email from Frank Smith off-list I have decided to try a different approach to

slve my problem:

Here is an excerpt from my tape-server /etc/services file.

amanda          20080/udp  #Dump server control
amandaidx       20082/tcp  #Amanda indexing
amidxtape       20083/tcp  #Amanda tape indexing


Note that I am not using the standard ports for amanda et al.

A tcpdump from the client end of the communication between host 'familyserv' and host 'famrad' went as follows:

<snip>

Since both ends are supposedy configured for tcpportrange=512.1023 and udpportrange=50000,50100

try configure with "--with-tcpportrange=50000,50100 --with-udpportrange=512,1023 ..." and recompile.

Open the corresponding ports in the firewall setup.

The reason udp port 34932 was tried because Amanda cannot find a reserved udp port that it can use.

The following occurred while compiling with the values you suggested:

Why is it looking in /usr/local/man/man8 for a man5 manual page?
I have seen this before.
