No. Amanda runs as user. You configured amandabackup:disk for this.
But this is what I don't understand. Amanda backup runs as user
"amandabackup", but amrecover must run as root!
You have to run amrecover as root, to make sure, that not everybody who has a
shell account can connect to your backup server and restore files. But the
services on your backup server run as $USER/$GROUP. Programs on the server
that have to run with root privileges by $USER are set suid.

the xinet workings, but I suppose that it specifies that services
(like amindexd) start running if the right user requests its service.
When somebody connect to one of the xinetd ports, then xinetd start the
configured program. If no one is connected, you will see no amanda processes
running in your ps output. But if, then you will.
If I do an "amrecover", and, while it times-out, I do an ps -ef | grep am, I
do not see any of these amanda services coming up.
If you don't see any processes (ps) or connection (netstat) on your server,
then I guess, the client can't reach the server out of any reasons. Maybe a
firewall issue on your client or on a firewall between the machines, that
don't allow the connection to your server. Also it could be a name resolution
problem and the client doesn't or does wrong resolve your servers name.
You can check the amrecover.*.debug logfiles on you client for additional
information, too.
