hi

If TFTP(or any other app for that matter) is started by inetd in 4.3BSD,file descriptors 0,1,2 are sockets to the client(automaticly created by inetd) and only when TFTP process started by inetd is finished,does inetd return to waiting for another request on that patricular port.

1-What are the things done differently by xinetd in linux from the bsd implementation?

2-Does it also automaticly create sockets for TFTP,and does it only return to listening on a particular port when app it spawned is finished?

3-Are all those file descriptors in BSD for the same socket and if not,why would bsd create three different sockets?

thanx
