nmap

[R. Bradley Tilley]

Should an AMANDA client have port 10080 open?

When I run nmap on my AMANDA server (which is also an AMANDA client) I only
see ports 10082 amandaidx and 10083 amidxtape. Port 10080 is shown to be
closed. Should 10080 be open?

Thanks!

Only if you want it to work :-).

TCP or UDP? 10082 and 10083 are TCP and should be ready to accept
connections on a server (but not on a client). 10080 is UDP and should
be ready to accept connections on a client.

$ config.guess
sparc-sun-solaris2.6
$ netstat -an | egrep '^TCP|^UDP|\.1008[0-9]'
UDP
*.10080 Idle
TCP
*.10082 *.* 0 0 0 0 LISTEN
*.10083 *.* 0 0 0 0 LISTEN

This assumes you have not changed the suggested service name or port
numbers, etc.
