Depending on the type of distribution, the Internet services daemon is provided by xinetd. NOTE: The following example uses Red Hat Linux 3.0. For more information, refer to your Linux operating system Help or documentation. NOTE: By default, TFTP executes in secure mode and only provides readable files under the /tftpboot directory. Other directories can be specified through the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp files. In secure mode, TFTP expects the file to be relative to the/tftpboot directory.
