I am in the process of learning Amanda and I am hoping someone can help me
with a problem I am having.

I have been using this website as a starting point:
http://www.howtoforge.com/disk_based_backups_amanda_debian_etch

We have a Debian etch machine as a server and 2 clients and everything is
working but now we want to add a Debian sarge machine as a client and the
result is: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK

Amanda on the Sarge machine is installed from backports.org and is the
same version as on the etch machines.

From the Sarge machine
service amanda
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = backup
        group           = backup
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
        # server_args     = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
        server_args     = -auth=bsdtcp amdump
}

I have tried different server_args to see if I can make it work, but the
result is always

The version of xinet is different from the etch server and the sarge
machine, the sarge machine is also a samba server and swat is running as a
xinet service.

Any advice would be great
