Hmm ... this is what I have in inetd.conf:
amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amindexd amindexd amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amidxtaped amidxtaped amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad
And the error message from sendsize.*.debug was:
sendsize[20790]: time 508.709: runtar: error [must be invoked by operator]
The "runtar" program, as said by others, must be owned by root and have the suid-bit on.
To avoid that anyone can use "runtar" and gain root privileges, the program checks it is invoked by the user that was specified at compile time (./configure --with-user=operator). But you invoked amandad, which invoked runtar, as user "amanda" in the inetd.conf file.
Solution: run as user operator on that machine, or, alternatively, recompile amanda with "./configure --with-user=amanda ...".
