Hey Eric.
I finally got it resolved. Once I upgraded xinetd to the latest version
2.3.9 I could get the port to stay open, then I set my .amandahosts file in
/ (default home dir for operator) Then I started getting parse errors
returned when I would run amdump. The strange part was that the debugs on
the client looked fine. I found a message in the amanda list archives that
spoke of the parse error I was getting. The only way around it that I found
was to leave the port for amanda-client and get the latest stable release
from amanda's website (2.4.3) This appears to have completely resolved the
issue. First, I tried to put the new version in the port but it broke on a
AD patch....
Thanks for the replies though and I am really starting to like freebsd over
linux. That's the only port I have tried so far that was broken.
Thanks.
Lewis
