I meant "loopback" instead of "localhost"... but you got the idea.

Verify xinetd configuration for amandad.

I think it should be no problem. Amandad is just bind to the interfaces it have to, in my configuration. I think localhost isn't required if server/client are connecting through FQDN and not localhost.

That depends on /etc/hosts.
His client is his server as well.
And with an entry in /etc/hosts like:

    127.0.0.1    myhost myhost.example.com localhost localhost.localdomain

(and nsswitch.conf listing files before dns for the hosts), then
you better be listening on the loopback interface too!

I find it really strange that amanda binds only the the external
interface, and not to loopback.  Why???
