Subject: 9tftpd

Hello 9fans!

Plan9 uses tftpd to help booting.
However the use of tftpd on authentication
server has some security problems.
So I modified tftpd.
You can get the new tftpd at my ftp:
ftp://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/9tftpd/

9tftpd is a tftpd for plan9 and you can replace tftpd by 9tftpd.
9tftpd follows TFTP protocols but the
use is limited to sending boot files. That is,
1. 9tftpd does not accept files from remote hosts.
2. 9tftpd looks ndb and sends bootf of the remote host.
3. the name space that 9tftpd is running belongs to none.
