Gene: Don't know nothin' about Amanda but I do note that its developers at zmanda.com provide instructions for configuring both xinetd and inetd which suggests to me both support their login model. As for your ongoing saga of ipv4/ipv6, I just asked Google for an opinion and got back https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inetutils/+bug/379621 Could be this is your problem too.
