On both stock FreeBSD 4.9 and FreeBSD 5.4 installs, tftpd does not and will not work. I uncomment out the first tftpd line found in /etc/inetd.conf, kill -HUP `/var/run/inetd.pid` and then attempt to connect to port 69. I've tried: - telnetting to localhost and the IP assigned to the network interface, to no avail - binding inetd to a specific IP with the -a switch and telnetting to that, to no avail - using the tftp client to both localhost and IP, both with inetd binding to all, and a specific IP I've tried it on both a 4.9 box, and a 5.4 box, both -RELEASE. Clearly I'm missing something but I haven't seen any howto, man page, or document explaining the need to do anything beyond uncommenting the inetd.conf line and -HUP'ing the inetd process. In both cases (4.9 and 5.4), netstat shows the tftpd process, but never in a LISTEN state. Please CC as I'm not subscribed to -questions (but at this rate I probably should be...) regards, aaron.glenn
