Description

When the WAN (PPPoE in my case) connection is restarted by custom periodic reset or when connection resetted by ISP, the tftpd and tftp-proxy (inetd?) services dies.

Starting manually tftpd service in "Status -> Services" doesn't work.
The only way to restart service again is by clicking on "Save" in "Services -> TFTP" properties page.

I've not spotted the trigger condition, but I can confirm I'm seeing the same condition
with '2.1-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) built on Sun May 13 02:42:10 EDT 2012'

I have to save the config to restart it, even a reboot didn't help.

I've found a workaround long time ago but I forgot to mention here.

- installed Cron package
- added line : "/usr/sbin/inetd -wW -R 0 -a 127.0.0.1 /var/etc/inetd.conf" 1 minute after resetting WAN connection.

This workaround reload tftpd and everything works fine since 6 months.

I've not already tested this issue with pfSense 2.1

In /etc/inc/filter.inc around like 1858, try changing the place where it does a kill -HUP on inetd with two commands that kill it with KILL and then restarts it.

It may be that HUP isn't enough to make inetd reattach in your case.

this likely fixed a number of versions ago. at a minimum, the same issue doesn't exist in 2.3
