You don't need the lines starting with amidxtape and amandaidx on a client, comment them out. You forgot the last argument on the lines - the name of the program (argv[0]). Add it: $ grep amanda /etc/inetd.conf amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/libexec/amanda/amindexd amindexd amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/libexec/amanda/amidxtaped amidxtaped Did you "kill -1 <PID if inetd>"? Does "netstat -an|grep 10080" shows UDP 10080? Does /etc/services contain port numbers for amanda, amidxtape and amandaidx (the latter two for restores from your FreeBSD box).
