Can someone tell me what type of applications would use tftp? Is it ok to turn off? If so,

Re: tftp

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.


Easy to suggest when don't know about the problem!

Re: tftp

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

Re: tftp

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

-USA..
Good Luck..
