(The systems in question use obsd inetd instead of xinetd, but this shouldn't

amandaidx stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd 
amindexd -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
amidxtape stream tcp nowait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped 
amidxtaped -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
