I'm using amanda to back up about Linux 10 machines, some through a
firewall. I'm looking at making the "holes" I've got punched in the
firewall a little smaller and two questions arise:

1) It seems that the --with-tcpportrange and --with-udpportrange
options designed to make usage through a firewall easier are strictly
compile-time options. Wouldn't these be more appropriate as run-time
options, perhaps in amanda.conf? I'm using pre-packaged builds for
several different flavors of Linux and I'd rather not have to
compile/maintain a bunch of different executables if I can avoid it.

2) Is there some way to get a pre-compiled version of amanda to tell
me what portrange settings it was compiled with? I know I can observe
the sessions on the wire and figure it out that way, but I'm hoping
there is an easier way.

Thanks.
