I use my Powerbook G4 as a work laptop, so I am often pushing configs to/from network gear via tftp. In OS X 10.2.* I was able to easily start/stop tftpd with inetd. I would do the following:
1: comment/uncomment the tftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf
2: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.conf`
After I installed 10.3.1 I tried doing this and got a message back stating that /var/run/inetd.conf didn't exist. I thought this was weird so I did some looking around. It seems that Apple decided to get away from inetd in 10.3. I think I read that they are moving everything over to xinetd, but I don't see that running either and don't know how to configure it either. Does anyone know what I can do to start/stop tftpd now?
