Hi Grant,

Thanks for the support.

I had this same problem when trying to back up my switch configs.  After some googling, I found a workaround for RH-based systems.  The workaround is disable tftp in xinetd, and run in.tftpd manually.  I never figured out why it would not work with xinetd.

May I ask you to tell me the detailed steps to achieve that... I'm an absolute beginner! :-)

Thanks again,
Davide



Here's the post about this problem on fedora forum:

Here's the ugly workaround:

In /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, set disable  = yes
Restart xinetd (/etc/init.d/xinetd restart)
Run in.tftpd (for example, "/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -c -v -u root -s /tftpboot")
You can add the previous command to /etc/rc.local to make it start on boot.
