>Description:
NEW FEATURE FOR tftpd:
This patch the TFTP daemon adds a new command line option -p that
permits the user to specify what port or port range the tftpd daemon
will bind to during transfers. This is useful in cases where one
must limit tftpd (perhaps for firewall reasons) to a small subset
of ports.
The patch applies cleanly to 5.x as well as 6.x up to 6.1-STABLE
as of 16 Aug. 2006.
While this has been tested on IPv4 networks, it has not been tested
on IPv6. The code is so simple, however, that severe bugs under
IPv6 are unlikely (but it would be nice for someone with an IPv6
net to give it a good walloping test).
-Aaron out.
(The patch is included in the "Fix to the problem" section.)
