        !            13: .I Tftpd
        !            14: is a server which supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer
        !            15: Protocol.  The TFTP server operates
        !            16: at the port indicated in the ``tftp'' service description;
        !            17: see
        !            18: .IR services (5).
        !            19: This port number may be overridden (for debugging purposes)
        !            20: by specifying a port number on the command line.  If the
        !            21: .B \-d
        !            22: option is specified, each socket created by
        !            23: .I tftpd
        !            24: will have debugging enabled (see SO_DEBUG in
        !            25: .IR socket (2)).
        !            26: .PP

        !            28: .I tftp
        !            29: does not require an account or password on the remote system.
        !            30: Due to the lack of authentication information, 
        !            31: .I tftpd
        !            32: will allow only publicly readable files to be
        !            33: accessed.
        !            34: Note that this extends the concept of ``public'' to include
        !            35: all users on all hosts that can be reached through the network;
        !            36: this may not be appropriate on all systems, and its implications
        !            37: should be considered before enabling tftp service.

        !            40: .SH BUGS
        !            41: This server is known only to be self consistent
        !            42: (i.e. it operates with the user TFTP program,
        !            43: .IR tftp (1C)).
        !            44: Due to the unreliability of the transport protocol
        !            45: (UDP) and the scarcity of TFTP implementations,
        !            46: it is uncertain whether it really works.
