Tftpd and ftpd daemons listen on different ports and are different things altogether. More importantly tftp is really insecure and should be avoided if possible. If avoiding it is not possible access to the daemon should be restricted to the smallest and most trustworthy set of client systems. Offhand I can think if no real use for tftp. A long time ago we had to have a tftpd available to allow Xterms to download their boot image it was worrisome. dlg
