Hello again, unfortunately my dup2-problems reappeared after that one night when it was working, I still have the same error on my machines.
so far I have only changed the entry in /etc/inetd.conf (I'm using openbsd-inetd) from: amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped to: amanda dgram tcp wait backup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped and of course restarted the inetd process. Are there any other places I need to adapt when "completely switching amanda to tcp"? Is auth=bsdtcp mandatory?
