^^^^^
The all important fact. Redhat 7.1 (and 7.0, IIRC) use xinetd, not inetd.
Rather than a single .conf file, xinetd uses a number of files in the
/etc/xinetd.d directory. I've attached 3 files -- amanda, amandaidx and
amidxtape. On the clients (including the server itself), you only need
amanda in /etc/xinetd.d. The other two go on the server to allow you to
use amrecover from the clients.
The other difference is that to restart xinetd, you need to issue the
command '/etc/init.d/xinetd restart'.
I copied the files over that you gave me...right now my xinetd.conf seems to
be missing my user and group information, though I ran ./configure
--with-user=amanda --with-group=disk --with-config=backup. I'm not really
sure what the syntax is for xinetd.conf as far as that information is
concerned. Here's what it has:
#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad
amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amindexd amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped amidxtaped
I checked my /var/log/messages and here's what I found...
****Found my xinetd.conf file...but it had nothing in it!
