From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030508 Description of problem: Since the security update to 2.3.11-1.7x, my tftp server process doesn't restart after it was killed. I have to restart xinetd instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xinetd-2.3.11-1.7x How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. tftp localhost 2. get somefile 3. quit 4. killall in.tftpd 5. tftp localhost 6. get somefile Actual Results: I get a connection timeout message, there's no in.tftpd running. Expected Results: It should restart in.tftpd and the result of step 2 and 6 should be the same. Additional info: This was working fine with xinetd-2.3.7-4.7x, the previous version I had installed.
OK, I've found the problem: there was a wait=no entry in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp. This didn't cause problems until the update to 2.3.11. I don't know where this came from, as the default correct setting is wait=yes.
