Right, but the top posting bastards who quote you back in full might
not use that flag.

I've just wasted half the afternoon trying to work out why a tftp
server
wasn't delivering a config file to a VoIP phone, and I finally
discover
that it's mode of operation has been changed during an "upgrade"
of the
tftp server, presumably to "enhance" security.
The client had been requesting the file by accessing destination
port
69udp on the server, and the server had been delivering the file via
source port 69udp. This meant that I could have very tight and
specific
filters in iptables.
Now I discover that the server delivers the files via random high
source
ports instead, which means that now I have to open up the filters to
accommodate a wide range of source ports from the server instead
of the
original port 69.
I do not call that enhanced security and the idiot that thinks it is
should be emasculated.
To add insult to injury I can find nothing in the scant
documentation to
tell me how to force the server back to its original mode of
operation.
I feel better now :)
