Amanda works with IPv6. It will be available in the next release (post-2.5.1). To use IPv6 addresses, make changes to the xinetd or inetd amanda service entry.
Example: xinetd entry for amandad that will accept connections from IPv4 as well as IPv6 addresses:
service amanda { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp flags = ipv6 wait = no user = amandabackup group = disk groups = yes server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped }
Example: inetd entry for amandad that will accept connections from IPv4 as well as IPv6 addressess:
amanda stream tcp46 nowait amandabackup /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad
