amanda needs xinetd because the services (generally speaking) are launched 
on demand rather than launched and sleeping till demand.  It could at one 
time be done by inetd, but that code may have bit rot if it still exists, 
even in a version as old as 2.4.5p1.  I'm currently running Amanda 
version 2.5.1p2-20070105 here.

And this is a wee bit odd because on FC6, I had to install xinetd after 
the installation was done in order for amanda to continue to work with my 
existing configuration which I simply copied over from the old drive.

I have NDI why xinetd is not now part of the default install, so its 
possible we may be seeing the first shot in needing to figure out a new 
way to do it.  In fact my curiosity is piqued enough to go ask on the 
fedora list as the the future status of xinetd.
