atftp (a client/server implementation of the TFTP protocol)
atftp is a client/server implementation of the TFTP protocol that
implements RFCs 1350, 2090, 2347, 2348, and 2349. The server is
multi-threaded and the client presents a friendly interface using
libreadline.
The atftpd server supports regular expressions, e.g. to serve the same
files to a group of hosts whose hostnames/IDs match a pattern. Multicast
is also supported (though experimental).
Slackware-specific info:
This build doesn't conflict with Slackware's tftp-hpa package. To run an
atftp service via inetd, edit /etc/inetd.conf, find the line for tftp,
make sure it's commented out, and add this line below it:
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/atftpd /tftpboot
You may add other arguments to the above, as needed (see atftpd(8)).
Don't forget to restart inetd after editing its config (killall -HUP
inetd should do).
Note: The FAQ supplied with atftp says to use /usr/sbin/in.tftpd. With
this build of atftp, that's incorrect: in.tftpd is still the regular
Slackware TFTP daemon.
Unlike stock in.tftpd, atftp supports tcpwrappers, so you may have to
add lines to /etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny. The service
name to use is "in.tftpd", *not* "atftpd"
If you want to run atftpd as a standalone daemon (not via inetd),
the easiest way to do this would be to add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local,
like so:
/usr/sbin/atftpd --daemon /tftpboot
...with whatever other options seem useful (--pidfile, for instance).
