I just installed atftp on my laptop in order to upgrade some firmware on a router. Now that the task is completed, I don’t need atftp running. Rather than uninstall it, is there a way to completely and securely disable it?
Depends on whether it’s running standalone or from xinetd.
If standalone,
chkconfig --set atftp off
/etc/init.d/atftp stop
Might be atftpd instead of atftp, try both ways.
If running from xinetd, find the config file in /etc/xinetd.d and change disabled to yes, then
/etc/init.d/xinetd reload
I believe you can also do these actions from the system services in YaST.
Thank you! Perfect. (I’m running standalone.)
