Hi all,

today I tried to restore a couple of files, but amrecover failed to
connect to the index server (I believe).  This is on my server PC fiume:
"
fiume:~ # amrecover -s fiume
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2p1. Contacting server on fiume ...
[request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]
"
Backups work perfectly with user amandabackup (this is the precompiled
Opensuse 10.2 version).  Amrecover was done as root.

Has this anything to do with the 3 files in the xinet.d directory
amanda, amandaidx, amidxtape?  Must a user root added somewhere?

Their contents is:

amanda

{
        only_from       = fiume.localnet stremen.localnet
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = amandabackup
        group           = disk

        disable         = no
}
