To re-enable the services, follow these steps:
- Execute the following commands in Terminal. You will be prompted for your administrator password.
cd /etc sudo cp -R xinetd.d ~/Desktop cd xinetd.d sudo rm *
- Open the file /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist in your preferred text editor; for example, type this to open the file in pico:
sudo pico /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist
- Locate the following key and array:
<key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/libexec/tftpd</string> <string>-s</string> - In the second string shown above, change the -s value to -i.
- Save the file and exit the text editor (in pico: press Control-O, Return, then Control-X).
- Restart the server.
- Keep the copy of the xinetd.d folder that you made on your desktop for backup purposes.
