Release : 4 Build Date: Mon 19 Feb 2007 04:30:20 AM MST Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: hs20-bc1-7.build.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: tftp-0.42-4.src.rpm Size : 32228 License: BSD Signature : (none) Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> URL : http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp/ Summary : The server for the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). Description : The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is normally used only for booting diskless workstations. The tftp-server package provides the server for TFTP, which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine. TFTP provides very little security, and should not be enabled unless it is expressly needed. The TFTP server is run from /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, and is disabled by default on Red Hat Linux systems. --------------------------------------------------- Is it disabled on Fedora Linux systems? :) Does Red Hat and Linux need (TM) next to them to help protect Red Hat and Linus Torvalds trademarks. Does Red Hat Linux still exist? I figure these are 'trivial' changes but might be needed for Trademark enforcement.
Fixed in tftp-0.48-3.fc9 The last line now reads: /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, and is disabled by default.
