I considered that when I started using amanda 20+ years ago, but have
thanks to dd-wrt in my router(s) I have never had the unwanted visitor.
This does have some exposure because this is also my web server, but I
do keep iptables up to date on blocking the bots that burn up my dsl
limited upload bandwidth mirroring my site. IMO, amanda's security model
is better than root.
