Hi All,

ok, came in to work, checked /etc/xinetd.d and it had 3 instances of 
tftp(tftp, tftp~ and tftpold). I remember that I made tftpold and forgot 
to remove it, but, don't kow where tftp~ came from. Anyway, I removed 
all instances. I also did a rpm -e of the tftp-server rpm. I also had 
yum do a remove of tftp-server. Then, I started from scratch. I 
installed the tftp-server, checked /etc/xinetd.d and saw only 1 
instance, and then restarted xine after making the required changes to 
xinetd.d/tftp and did a netstat -nutlp, which now shows only I xined 
listening on 69, which is the desired result. Intalled tftp client and 
all is now well. Thanx for your patience with this. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
