tftp

[John Goetz]

Can someone tell me what type of applications would use tftp? Is it ok to turn off? If so,
how can I kill a open port of it running?

IF you want to enable tftp service then go to /etc/inetd.conf and uncomments it's service there.

reconfigure inetd as inetd -c there.

see man tftpd / tftp there.

It is useful for ignite-ux, file transfer more.

You can use lsof tool to idenity the running port application's PID there.

tftp is in my my openion is used by boot client.
You can remove the line from /etc/services & also comment the line in /etc/inetd.conf

Hope above helps

tftp is mostly used by ignite.
Check /etc/inetd.conf file.
Also services file in /etc has port 69 assigned to this.
