amanda stopped working: selfcheck fails



Hi.


I run backups with Amanda every weekend and today it failed, completely.
What changes have happened, if any, were due to package upgrades, I haven't touched amanda, ssh or inetd in a long while according to my diary. Certainly not in the last week!


Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Searching for label 'DailySet1-13':found in slot 13: volume 'DailySet1-13'
Will write to volume 'DailySet1-13' in slot 13.
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 0.300 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: mononoke: selfcheck request failed: Connection refused
ERROR: flyingraspi: selfcheck request failed: Connection refused
Client check: 3 hosts checked in 13.274 seconds.  2 problems found.
(brought to you by Amanda 3.5.1)


Setup:
* (debian testing) mononoke: runs the server and also is one of the clients (bsdtcp)
* (debian testing) clarisse: client (ssh)
* (debian 9.11) flyingraspi: client (bsdtcp)

All three systems are freshly booted. Router has been rebooted, as well.
ping and ssh work as expected on all of them.


Restarting inetd:
* flyingraspi: no errors
* mononoke and clarisse, both show the following entry in daemon.log:
inetd[1719886]: amanda/tcp: unknown service



I'm not even 100% sure whether it's inetd (my bet) or xinetd but here they are:

/etc/inetd.conf: (unchanged)
amanda stream tcp nowait backup /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandad -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped

/ect/xinetd.d/amanda: (unchanged)
service amanda
{
        disable         = no
        flags           = ipv4
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = backup
        group           = disk
        groups          = yes
        server          = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped senddiscover
}



Any clues? I'd like to hear from people already using Amanda but the one question I have for everyone is: how do I verify which inetd version I am using? (and then remove the irrelevant config).


Thanks,
Andrea.
