I've been successful so far setting up Amanda to back up my hosts inside
my firewall, where my tapeserver is also located. Now, I'm trying to set
it up to also backup the hosts outside the firewall.

Unfortunately, I don't control the firewall, I have to just tell the
folks who do exactly what I need. So far, I've told them I need the
following ports opened:
10080/udp
10082/tcp
10083/tcp

I just noticed that, while these are the ports listed in the INSTALL
document, the patch-system actually put these lines in my /etc/services
(client only; no tape server):
www:/tmp/amanda # grep amanda /etc/services 
amanda 10080/udp
amanda 10080/tcp
kamanda 10081/udp
amandaidx 10082/tcp

Is there a misprint in the INSTALL document? Should I also asked the
firewall group to open port 10080/tcp?

If anyone's ever done this (specify the firewall settings needed by
amanda), could you let me know what you requested?

Thanks for your help.
