     NAME
          tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/etc/in.tftpd

     DESCRIPTION
          tftpd is a server supporting the DARPA Trivial File Transfer
          Protocol. The TFTP server operates at the port indicated in
          the tftp service description; see services(4N).

          Since you do not have to have an account or password on the
          remote system to use tftp, tftpd will only allow you to ac-
          cess publicly readable files.  This includes all users on
          all hosts who can be reached through the network.  This may
          not be appropriate on all systems, and you should consider
          the implications before enabling tftp service.

     BUGS
          This server is only self-consistent.  Due to the unreliabil-
          ity of the transport protocol (UDP) and the scarcity of TFTP
          implementations, it is uncertain whether it really works.

          tftpd does not check the search permissions of the direc-
          tories leading to the accessed files.
