Another round of googling got me to a Shorewall help page that mentioned
the need for this module.  Now our router serves up the Debian installer
to houseguests unfortunate enough to be running Windows. :-)

Eric (Spakman), I'd like to suggest that the need to download and
install ip_conntrack_tftp be added to the help message for tftpd.lrp.
And maybe that the module be added, commented out by default, to
/etc/modules.  I'm used to opening shorewall ports when I install a
new service, and even figured I'd need to tweak dnsmasq.conf to make
PXE boot work.  But when a new module is required I haven't a clue how
to work that out from log files etc.

(This is a suggestion, not a criticism!  I'm grateful that your
packaging tftpd has let me put my LEAF box to new use with very little
effort.  And I recognize that tftpd is much less frequently used than,
say, openvpn.)

BTW, I'm not planning on leaving tftpd in the LRP line in leaf.cfg.
Since there's no state to backup, and I will use it very infrequently,
and need to copy data into /tftpboot manually anyway, I don't see any
advantage to having it come up automatically on reboot.  It's trivial
to install it with 'apkg -i' on demand.

Thanks!
