I changed it according to Olivier, and now amcheck says connection reset by peer, and errors back out quickly rather than waiting 10 seconds. Oh, didn't notice the udp was a duplicate. What effects that? After the amanda file change, now the netstat -na |grep 10080: gene@lathe:/etc/xinetd.d$ netstat -na |grep 10080 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10080 0.0.0.0:* Which should look better. But it doesn't make amcheck happy: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: lathe: selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer Client check: 3 hosts checked in 2.498 seconds. 1 problem found.
