After a carefully reading between the lines, I now see that, "A better advice is to configure tcpd instead of removing it" was really the following more specifically informative and helpful statement: "Add the following lines to /etc/hosts.allow:
amandad: ALL : ALLOW amindexd: ALL : ALLOW amidxtape: ALL : ALLOW (you may wish to qualify ALL somewhat, or not); retain the /usr/sbin/tcpd in the amanda line in /etc/inetd.conf amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amandad and then restart /etc/inetd.conf."
