      Hello
      I'm here with my 50$
      for bringing TFTP server package back which is removed in 2.3.

      2.3 Removed Packages

      TFTP - no package maintainer, not converted

        In addition to it not having a maintainer, we switched from inetd to xinetd and the TFTP daemon did not work with xinetd. I am not sure if this has been corrected yet, but if it has, it may be possible to bring it back eventually.

            "we switched from inetd to xinetd and the TFTP daemon did not work with xinetd"

            Then why is there a freaking entry in the conf for it.. How can we remove this - it just spams the logs.

            [2.3.2-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local.lan]/: cat /var/etc/xinetd.conf 
            service 6969-udp                                                   
            {                                                                   
                    type = unlisted                                             
                    bind = 127.0.0.1                                           
                    port = 6969                                                 
                    socket_type = dgram                                         
                    protocol = udp                                             
                    wait = yes                                                 
                    user = root                                                 
                    server = /usr/libexec/tftp-proxy                           
                    server_args = -v                                           
            }

            [2.3.2-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local.lan]/:

              That's tftp-proxy, not tftpd. And that does work.

                Oh my bad then.. Just saw ports 6969 and tftp, didn't catch the -proxy part ;)

                Since I do not use this, will never use it in this environment - how can I remove this so it doesn't come back and keep spamming the logs..

                Dec 7 08:05:39 xinetd 50417 Reconfigured: new=0 old=1 dropped=0 (services)
                Dec 7 08:05:39 xinetd 50417 readjusting service 6969-udp
                Dec 7 08:05:39 xinetd 50417 Swapping defaults
                Dec 7 08:05:39 xinetd 50417 Starting reconfiguration

                I do not have the the proxy enabled.  So why would this entry be in there?  If I remove it it just comes back.

                  That would be a question for a new thread in a different board

                    You  should be able to set up a separate syslog facility for the xinetd with location optimized to /dev/null with a small patch to system_syslogd_start(). Frankly, I'm tempted to submit this as a PR – because the system log now mostly consists of the competely useless xinetd noise.
