  48   48                        Specifies the value of the retransmission timeout in
  49   49                        seconds. This also affects the maximum session timeout
  50   50                        in that the latter is set to five times the
  51   51                        retransmission timeout value.

  80   78  NOTES
  81   79         The tftpd server only acknowledges the transfer size option that is
  82   80         sent with a read request when the octet transfer mode is specified.

  85   82         The in.tftpd.1m service is managed by the service management facility,
  86   83         smf(5), under the service identifier:
  87   84  
  88   85           svc:/network/tftp/udp6:default
  89   86  
  90   87  
  91   88  
  92   89  
  93   90         Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
  94   91         requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibility
  95   92         for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M).
  96   93         Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration
  97   94         information for this service. The service's status can be queried using
  98   95         the svcs(1) command.

 101      -       Unlike most smf(5) services, a manifest for the tftp service is not
 102      -       included in the system. To create one and enable this service, the
 103      -       administrator should:
 104   98  
 105      -           1.     Edit /etc/inet/inetd.conf and uncomment the tftp entry.
 106      -
 107      -           2.     Run /usr/sbin/inetconv.
 108      -
 109      -
 110      -       After you run inetconv, the svc:/network/tftp/udp6:default service is
 111      -       created and enabled.
