Description

my system log is being spammed with messages such as:
May 3 15:15:44 xinetd 7815 Reconfigured: new=0 old=1 dropped=0 (services)
May 3 15:15:44 xinetd 7815 readjusting service 6969-udp
May 3 15:15:44 xinetd 7815 Swapping defaults
May 3 15:15:44 xinetd 7815 Starting reconfiguration

Upon investigation, I found this is the TFTP Proxy.

in Advanced Firewall I have nothing selected for TFTP Proxy, and I see no other options to disable it.
Since I don't need / nor want TFTP Proxy, this should be able to be disabled.

I happened to notice this in the forum, so I figured I would add it here, though it doesn't fit my situation, it seems TFTP Proxy is possibly broken in general.

The enable/disable only determines whether traffic will ever reach it, it's always ran in the background

So I see. I just loaded the old 2.2.4 ova to look. As this isn't a bug it seems, I would appreciate if it was kept as a feature request. I don't think unused items should be running to enhance security, but if that isn't acceptable, it would be really great if the spam could be removed from the system log.

Thanks.
