Hi All,

How to disable TFTP Service and Verify the same.

Responses

simple:
**disable:
chkconfig tftp off
**check:
chkconfig --list tftp

better:
**remove:
yum erase tftp-server
**check:
rpm -q tftp-server

best: (if xinetd does not service anything else)
**remove:
yum erase tftp-server xinetd
**check:
rpm -q tftp-server xinetd

Similarly useful:

iptables -P INPUT DROP

...with the assumption that you only specifically-enable the ports that you need to provide access to (and omit the TFTP-related service-port).
