The reason I ask is that it seems to be maintained as a debian project, and version 0.3 has been out since sometime in march. > It is started from (x)inetd, but once started it uses threads to handle > further clients, so (x)inetd won't think the service is overloaded. True. With atftp I haven't seen problems with inetd. I have see weird problems with it locking up though, it failing worse than if inetd had simply refused to answer requests. For me to really trust a solution I'm going to have to both test it very hard and read the code. I'm not convinced there are currently any stable tftp servers.... Eric |
