Time then, to retire from modern Unix, perhaps. Change and

Old way: Please examine this file, and as needed, edit to
enable the service (normally services are / were shipped
disabled, pre-systemd, as part of a hardening push back at RHL
7.2, back at the turn of the century).
Particularly the line:
disable = yes
Alternatively (the old and) LSB specified way was: try as
root:
chkconfig tftp on
- or the 'systemd way is: -
systemctl enable tftp
---------
View what is enabled, or not, thus. 'grep' will work with
this form:
systemctl list-unit-files --no-pager
viz:
[herrold@centos-7 ~]$ systemctl list-unit-files --no-pager | \
grep tftp
tftp.service indirect
tftp.socket enabled
-- Russ herrold
