This is nmap trying to talk to amindexd (part of the amanda-server
package).
Amanda uses an ftp-like protocol - perhaps nmap thought it could talk
FTP to it?
Looks like a result of using the -A (=agressive) option on nmap, and
nmap telling you about the "weird" conversation it had with (what nmap
thought was) an FTP server. You should get the same errors from:
$ telnet localhost 10082
Either way, your amanda server is complaining about its config.
You should find more information on cdrw-taper on
/usr/share/doc/cdrw-taper ...
PS: If you haven't already done so, you should probably set up
firewalling on interfaces other than the loopback interfaces - the
amanda protocol isn't quite as secure as it could be...
Hope this helps
