Package: tftpd-hpa
Version: 5.2+20150808-1.2build2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I disabled ipv6 on the whole system with a kernel parameter on boot.
This is something I routinely do on any server I manage, because in the
past I have had weird problems that disabling ipv6 solved. I am not
using ipv6 at all. Disabling it means I do not usually have to worry
about any complications it might introduce.
I didn't notice for several weeks after disabling ipv6 that my tftp
server wasn't working. When I did, I tracked down the problem to a log
entry saying that tftpd-hpa couldn't bind to ipv6. Instead of starting
with ipv4, it simply refused to run. Adding --ipv4 to the options in
/etc/default/tfdpd-hpa got it working again.
I think the program should have started, logging the ipv6 error.
I initially filed this report with Ubuntu because I am using Ubuntu.
They indicated I should file the bug upstream.
