Questions (mostly TFTP)

[Keith Anderson APCS]

Jay,

the line should look like

[10:46am]root at server0/etc#grep tftp /etc/inetd.conf
tftp    dgram   udp wait root    /usr/libexec/tftpd      tftpd -l -s /tftp

after you have added this HUP inetd (killall -1 inetd)

then

mkdir /tftp
touch /tftp/test-file

set your permissions and your tftp server is ready to except a file called 
test-file

Hope that helps,

Thanks
Keith
