OT: tftp server

[ari]

You may also wish to look at firewall rules.  If return-udp packets are
filtered, one may run into transfer problems with tftp, even using
"stateful" udp inspection.  The return udp source port will be the
server's transfer identification number, and this will not often be port
69, as the filter would expect from the state table.  If you have
implemented filtering, you should check into this.
