Don't know.

# su amanda
$ /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad -auth=bsdtcp amdump

just returns

ps doesn't show anything in the background.

says:

" ... running the specified amandad command by hand, as the Amanda user.
It should just time-out after 30 seconds waiting for a UDP packet."

It returns immediately, with or without options given (-auth=...).
I will have to check back with amanda-devs maybe.

Tried both "simple" and "forking", no progress.

Did remove that "-" already.
No new messages anywhere.

nope, systemd-29-r2 here (latest in gentoo-portage)
