That is not the usual name for that file.  What distro are you running?

OTOH, the actual name of that file isn't terribly important, but the contents 
are, and should generally resemble this, although the server locations could 
change depending on your packaging system, and of course the FQDN too:
====================
# default = off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
# This is the list of daemons & such it needs
service amanda
{
        only_from       = coyote.coyote.den
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = dgram
        protocol        = udp
        wait            = yes
        user            = amanda
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
        server_args     = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}
service amandaidx
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amanda
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/local/libexec/amindexd
}
service amidxtape
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amanda
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
}
===================
which will result in those 3 'service's being registered with xinetd for ready 
availability in the event they are called upon.  As far as xinetd is 
concerned there is zero difference in how it works if the file was broken up 
into 3 pieces at the service keyword, and named jimbo, bubba and teri-sue, or 
this all in one file was named after a BC comic strip character.  Its what is 
in the file(s) that that count. :-)
