Default Re: install TFTP server question

Good!

Why should you? Edit "/etc/xinetd.d/tftp" and look for the line:

disable = yes

Change this line to:

disable = no

Restart "xinetd" and xinetd should start tftpd on request. Be
sure to allow "/etc/hosts.allow" the service to hosts you want.

'man 5 hosts_access' if in doubt.

Good luck
