Hi All,

well, I'll be bamboozled...that was it...thanx Edwin...I didn't even 
know there was a difference between server/client...annoying that 
netstat showed xinetd listening on 69 when in fact, it couldn't have 
been, technically, because the server wasn't there...can anyone tell me 
what would have been more clear in showing whether tftp was there or 
not..? Cheers.
