I'm kind of shooting in the dark here (not having tried to set up amanda

open a Timbuktu specific port in the Mac OS X firewall. If Amanda is
coming in on another port, might it be necessary to do that for Amanda?
Assuming, of course, that most everyone has the firewall turned on.
Thanks, Chris -- I expect that's it. Maya, probably the easiest thing
initially is just to disable the firewall, and see if that helps. If
it does, then you'll need to add a new firewall exception for port
10080 (assuming you're using BSDTCP).
Sorry guys, that's not it. The very first thing I did to tackle the problem was disable the firewall.
I also checked with tcpdump and saw that client and server communicate fine.
I think it's an amanda configuration problem on the client, maybe a mix-up somewhere with tcp/udp.
any other ideas will be great, I'm clueless now..
If it works, would you mind updating the wiki page?
sure, if ever...
