Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Right after posting, I finally got atftpd to work. The init.d script seems to be broken and bails because there's no root directory configured even though there is one specified in /etc/conf.d/atftpd. So I gave up on starting it via /etc/init.d. When running it directly from the command line, I was missing the "--daemon" option -- which has nothing to do with whether it runs as a daemon or not (that's controlled by "--no-fork"). It controls whether it expects stdin to be a UDP socket or it should create and bind a socket. Despite the reasonably clear help text description of --daemon, I just couldn't convince myself to add the --daemon option when I didn't want it to run as a daemon. >> But, when I try to install one of the other tftp servers, emerge >> refuses.

I never understood why different tftp servers block > each other. I mean I can install pure-ftpd and proftpd at the time time too. I would have sworn I had at least two different tftp servers installed at the same time in the past... -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! RELATIVES!! at gmail.com
