Ah, yes, did now.

removed that section now, thanks.

I get "selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer"
on the server which somehow points at something like:

server tries to use bsdtcp-authentication and client (= the machine with
systemd listening) doesn't answer correctly.

My working xinetd-file is:

service amanda
{
	socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = amanda
	groups			= yes
        server          	= /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad
	server_args		= -auth=bsdtcp amdump
        disable                 = no
}

The amanda.socket fails after about two times trying to contact it from
the server.

systemd[1]: amanda.socket failed to queue socket startup job: File exists
systemd[1]: Unit amanda.socket entered failed state.

Maybe the "Type" of the service is wrong?
