I have a problem with disabling tftp service.
I removed tftp user from the system, then commented tftp line in /etc/inetd.conf file and after all rereaded configuration (inetd -c). I got in syslog entry:
May 26 10:18:38 X inetd[2382]: tftp/udp: Deleted service
The thing is that when I tftp from another server to that blocked server and then I use 'status' command I get:
Connected to 192.168.10.X.
Mode: netascii Verbose: off Tracing: off
Rexmt-interval: 5 seconds, Max-timeout: 25 seconds
On that blocked server I don't see any tftp daemon started.
What could be the reason of that behaviour? Is tftp disabled or not?
Regards,
Michal

>>Is tftp disabled or not?
After getting the prompt are you able to login into the server? did you tried to login ?
Did you checked /var/adm/inetd.sec ?

Re: Disabling tftp
what do you mean by login in tftp?
I don't have inetd.sec file.
ls -l /var/adm/inetd.sec
/var/adm/inetd.sec not found

This would be a normal behaviour ,Could you try to down load some file (eg:/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi) ?
In TFTP any transfer begins with a request to read or write a file, which also serves to request a connection and includes "NO LOGIN "or access control mechanisms.
From Man tftp "Unlike FTP protocol ,TFTP doesn't maintain connections between transfers.thus the connect command does not actually create a connection but merely remebers what host is to be used for transfer"
Thanks!!

Re: Disabling tftp
Check list:
inetd.conf configuration
inetd.sec block configuration
TCP Wrapper if installed limitations
/etc/services modifications.
Permission on the home directory of the tftp user. It must own the files there or the daemon will not start.

Re: Disabling tftp
Ensure that you are connecting to the "blocked" server. (it has happened to each one of us!)
While tftp-ing from the "another" server, login to the "blocked" server and check the process listing with the ps command and look for any tftp processes. Also check if anything is listening to the tftp port with the "netstat -a" command, (tftp service or port 69).
Check inetd.conf in its entirety. Your original tftp entry may be commented out but there could be another entry somewhere else in the file.
Finally tftp may have been started outside inetd by some other software you may have installed, (netstst -a should show it).
