Yes, it does. GXP2000's also use tftpd for provisioning across multiple
units.... Really irritating.

here are two things here. Tftpd and ftpd daemons listen on different

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.
Offhand, I can think of at least one. Grandstream GXP2000 Voip phones do
their firmware updates through tftp, and only tftp.

Does that require users to run a tftpd server? If so, that is awful.
That company needs a security wake up. *SIGH* I had hoped that such
things were behind us.
