[Novalug] xinetd (solaris!) issues

This is on a solaris box but the idea should be the same. How do I debug
an xinetd issue? The problem I have is that I do not believe xinetd is
launching amanda. Packets come in, but I see no return replies on a
tcpdump. Or if it is launching amanda (/usr/local/libexec/amandad), it
dies quickly.

Anyone have easy xinetd debugging tips? I have nothing in
/var/adm/messages, /tmp/amanda (amanda output) and I can't think of
where else to look.

Its been a long time since I messed with amanda, and solaris, so Im very
rusty.

(note; I have checked with netcat, ports are open and packets can flow.
Its an xinetd or a amanda issue, I just cant decide which..)
