The netstat output just shows that inetd opened the correct ports. Precisely it doesn't show even that. It shows that inetd opened the ports that are associated with the entries "amandaidx" and "amanda" in /etc/services ;-) But I'm nitpicking. This definitely doesn't say a single bit about which commands inetd will run, when something actually connects to the ports in question. You could enter amanda dgram udp wait amanda humpty dumpty in your /etc/inetd.conf and would get the same netstat output. Though, inetd would have a hard time actually running humpty, once you connect.
