PROGRAM:

NAME

tftpd - Cobbler tftpd service

SYNOPSIS

tftpd [-h,--help] [-v,--verbose] [-d,--debug] [--version]

[--port=<port>(69)]

DESCRIPTION

A python, cobbler integrated TFTP server. It is suitable to call via xinetd, or as a
stand-alone daemon. If called via xinetd, it will run, handling requests, until it has
been idle for at least 30 seconds, and will then exit.

This server queries cobbler for information about hosts that make requests, and will
instantiate template files from the materialized hosts' 'fetchable_files' attribute.
