This is a very good tutorial. I should find some place to link to it...
I'm a little bit surprised by the following claim, though:
In an earlier version of this document I suggested using tftp-hpa
started from xinetd. This combination of tools cannot reliably handle
much more than 64 clients at a time! With more clients not all of them
will get an answer from your TFTP and you will see syslog messages like
this: tftpd: read: Connection refused.
Anyone happens to know which version of tftp-hpa that was? atftp is
probably better handing huge amounts of clients, but tftp-hpa should
definitely handle a lot more than 64.
