Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. |

Right after posting, I finally got atftpd to work. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The init.d script seems to be broken and bails because there's no root |
| 14 |
directory configured even though there is one specified in |
| 15 |
/etc/conf.d/atftpd. So I gave up on starting it via /etc/init.d. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
When running it directly from the command line, I was missing the |
| 18 |
"--daemon" option -- which has nothing to do with whether it runs as a |
| 19 |
daemon or not (that's controlled by "--no-fork"). It controls whether |
| 20 |
it expects stdin to be a UDP socket or it should create and bind a |
| 21 |
socket. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Despite the reasonably clear help text description of --daemon, I just |
| 24 |
couldn't convince myself to add the --daemon option when I didn't want |
| 25 |
it to run as a daemon. |

I would have sworn I had at least two different tftp servers installed |
| 36 |
at the same time in the past... |
