Hi Robert -

I'm running it successfully on C7 using xinetd.� Do you have documentation for running it directly from systemd?� Working xinetd configuration:

cat /etc/xinetd.d/amanda # default: off # description:� The client for the Amanda backup system.\ #�������������� This must be on for systems being backed up\ #�������������� by Amanda. service amanda { ��� disable�������� = no ��� socket_type���� = dgram ��� protocol��� ��� = udp ��� wait��� ��� ��� = yes ��� user��� ��� ��� = amandabackup ��� group��� ��� �� = disk ��� server��� ��� � = /usr/sbin/amandad # Configure server_args for the authentication type you will be using, # and the services you wish to allow the amanda server and/or recovery # clients to use. # # Change the -auth= entry to reflect the authentication type you use. # Add amindexd to allow recovery clients to access the index database. # Add amidxtaped to allow recovery clients to access the tape device. ��� server_args��� � = -auth=bsd amdump ��� flags��� ��� ��� = IPv4 }

Cheers, Dave

You don't start the service directly. Start and enable the socket and then it will start the service when a connection is made.

systemctl enable amanda-udp.socket systemctl start amanda-udp.socket
