- I have found inetd -l very valuable in tracking down problems, till
- now! If you do tftp to a broadcast address, inetd logs it as if the
- source address is actually the local host! That is, if host A
- broadcasts, then on host B it says connection from host B!
-
- I haven't tried to see if this is true of other protocols (probably
- is).
