With the NIS change… did that involve changing the hostname or IPs the server appears to be using as seen from the client? Is your xinetd using tcpwrappers? Do you need to update /etc/hosts.allow, hosts.deny, and/or ~amanda/.amandahosts? Is the new Amanda UID reflected properly in xinetd.conf? Perhaps bouncing xinetd may suffice to solve the issue, if you haven’t rebooted the whole host since the NIS changes.
Is there an iptables firewall on the client that needs updating? AppArmor or SELinux updates?

It used to work. The only thing I can think of that's changed since the last time it worked is that the NIS server changed. But that seems to be working fine and the amandabackup user is available on the client (the server is not using NIS). Note that the server works with other clients just fine. amcheck on the client shows this: WARNING: tesla: selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer The amandabackup uid changed with the NIS server change, so I went through these dirs on the client to make sure files were owned by amandabckup:disk (except where they should be owned by root): /usr/sbin /etc/amanda /usr/libexec/amanda /var/lib/amanda xinetd is running on the client. 'netstat -a | grep amanada' shows: tcp 0 0 *:amanda *:* LISTEN Here's the tail of /var/log/amanda/server/jet1/amcheck.<date>.debug from the server: ...
