+atftp (a client/server implementation of the TFTP protocol)
+
+atftp is a client/server implementation of the TFTP protocol that
+implements RFCs 1350, 2090, 2347, 2348, and 2349. The server is
+multi-threaded and the client presents a friendly interface using
+libreadline.
+
+The atftpd server supports regular expressions, e.g. to serve the same
+files to a group of hosts whose hostnames/IDs match a pattern. Multicast
+is also supported (though experimental).
+
+Slackware-specific info:
+
+This build doesn't conflict with Slackware's tftp-hpa package. To run an
+atftp service via inetd, edit /etc/inetd.conf, find the line for tftp,
+make sure it's commented out, and add this line below it:
+
+tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/atftpd /tftpboot
+
+You may add other arguments to the above, as needed (see atftpd(8)).
+Don't forget to restart inetd after editing its config (killall -HUP
+inetd should do).
+
+Note: The FAQ supplied with atftp says to use /usr/sbin/in.tftpd. With
+this build of atftp, that's incorrect: in.tftpd is still the regular
+Slackware TFTP daemon.
+
+Unlike stock in.tftpd, atftp supports tcpwrappers, so you may have to
+add lines to /etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny. The service
+name to use is "in.tftpd", *not* "atftpd"
+
+If you want to run atftpd as a standalone daemon (not via inetd),
+the easiest way to do this would be to add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local,
+like so:
+
+/usr/sbin/atftpd --daemon /tftpboot
+
+...with whatever other options seem useful (--pidfile, for instance).
