Thanks Jean-Louis. We have created a VPN for our backup LAN, linking a number of machines over the internet. Using Bastille firewall we define tun0 as an internal interface on the client machine and then permit UDP_SERVICE_INTERNAL=10080.
This is confirmed by ([EMAIL PROTECTED]:~)# nmap -sU -P0 10.8.0.18 -p 10080 Starting Nmap 4.03 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2007-10-12 17:06 BST Interesting ports on 10.8.0.18: PORT STATE SERVICE 10080/udp open|filtered amanda I get the same result when I nmap other working configurations. Iptables has module ip_conntrack_amanda loaded. /me pokes a bit further.

It's not a dtimeout problem. The socket can't be connected, do you have a firewall between client and server? Jean-Louis
