First, Mr. Grawert, thank you for your reply. I have learned (this morning) that Ubuntu (and Debian) use inetd by default and that my installation of VMware (last Friday) installs xinetd as a dependency. I could be wrong, but I think these two programs are "fighting" one an other.
I am not sure what you meant about ". . . .tftpd-hpa doesnt run standalone but . . . " because I am unfamiliar to this depth of programming, but I am learning as I go. What do you think about my inetd and xinetd idea?
