2.5 Only enable TFTP if absolutely necessary - Uncomment service tftp in /etc/inet/inetd.conf

Information

TFTP is typically used for network booting of diskless workstations, X-terminals, and other similar devices (TFTP is also used during network installs of systems via the Solaris Jumpstart facility). Routers and other network devices may copy configuration data to remote systems via TFTP for backup. However, unless this system is needed in one of these roles, it is best to leave the TFTP service disabled.
