Description Espen Skoglund 2001-09-21 18:20:00 UTC 
RFC2349 <URL:http://www.hypermail.org/rfcs/rfc2349.html> adds support
for negotiation of timeout and file size to the tftp protocol.  This
is *required* by some firmware like EFI boot managers (at least on
HP i2000 Itanium servers) in order to boot an image using tftp.  The
attached patch implements the RFC, and in doing so also implements
RFC2347; a generic tftp option extension.

The patch is only tested with -STABLE, but given that tftpd.c is not
changed in -CURRENT, I see no reason why it shouldn't work there.
