I can confirm both the symptom and the workaround. Thank you, Mr. Belanger.
You can also try add "flags = IPv4" to /etc/xinetd.d/amanda. Then it should work with new xinetd too. The cause of that timeout is xinetd's patch for bug #195265. Before, IPv4 socket was bind by default, now it's IPv6 with fallback to IPv4 on error. It seems that amanda is not retrying connection on error. With new amanda it works fine, so I'll try backporting patch for this...
Adding "flags = IPv4" appears to work for me. Thanks. [root@charlesc samba]# pre xinetd amanda | sort amanda-2.5.1p3-1.fc7 amanda-client-2.5.1p3-1.fc7 amanda-server-2.5.1p3-1.fc7 xinetd-2.3.14-12.fc7
That setting in /etc/xinetd.d/amanda seems to work for me as well.
Happen to me, too and can confirm working. Not nice that amanda has still problems with IPv6...
Works for me, too.

So what I did? Just added that line (flags=IPv4) to default xinetd config file. It will not auto-repair amanda when upgrading but it should at least help when configuring it. I didn't found better solution.
