State-Changed-Why:  
I can't reproduce this problem using 3.2-RELEASE sources. Nor with 
STABLE nor with CURRENT.  

For me to take this any further, I'll need to see a more detailed 
description of what you're doing and what you see.

 Hi Joseph,
 
 Let me start with the last thing you said in your e-mail, since I think
 we need to clear something up:

 You're welcome to use whatever platform you wish to, and this kind of
 arm-twisting is unnecessary and ugly given that FreeBSD is brought to
 you by volunteers.
 
 We responded to your initial report in very little time at all, much
 faster than many commercial ventures would have. I explained quite
 explicitly in my response that I needed more detail from you. Why would
 I ask for more detail if I was not prepared to help you?
 
 In your initial report, you said you couldn't compile tftpd. Now you say
 that you can, but you don't say what the problem was. Now the problem
 you're having has changed and you're still not giving us enough
 information to help you.
 
 So, let's see if we can handle this rationally:
 
 > When I run the tftpd it returns:
 >
 > Socket operation on non socket
 > it will not run - not off the cd
 > version or the compiled.
 
 You've given us an error message, and that's a start. But may I suggest
 that you provide us with the following:
 
 1) What are you trying to do?
 
 2) What do you expect to see?
 
 3) What do you see instead?
 
 You've given us the last of the 3. What we don't know is _how_ you're
 trying to launch tftpd, how the client tries to connect to it, etc.  If
 you can cut and paste error messages and config lines (and tell us where
 you cut them from), that'll be ideal.
 
 I sincerely hope we can help you with your problem and I assure you that
 our interest in seeing you satisfied with the software has nothing to do
 with what you may or may not threaten to use in its place.
 
 Regards,
 Sheldon.

 I've tried it with 4.0-CURRENT, for which the sources do not appear to
 be any different. However, what I've tried and what you've tried may be
 very different.

 What do we have to do before you'll send us a How-To-Repeat?

 The sooner you give us the information we've asked for (twice now), the
 sooner someone it likely to look into your problem.
 
 Did you actually get my previous e-mail message in which I asked you to
 send more information? Check out your PR at 
 
 	http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=12846
 
 Please send a How-To-Repeat that I can use to test and investigate the
 problem.
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.

 Please type tftpd at the prompt. In the installed OS from the CD it
 errors out with the socket operation on non-socket.
 
 Thanks so much for your help.
 I would love to use FreeBSD and all the really nice network and web
 tools.
 
 Thanks Joseph

 Thank you!!! Finally you offer me something I can use! If you'd told me
 before that you're running tftpd from the command-line, I could have
 helped you long ago.
 
 Please read the tftpd manpage and try running tftpd from inetd as
 directed.
 
 Thanks,
 Sheldon.

 Hi Joseph,
 
 So have you managed to get tftpd running out of inetd? I'd appreciate
 feedback. Even if you have it working, I'd still like to know so that I
 can close your PR.
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.

 We have made a determination that FReeBSD support is insufficient for our
 needs. We have gone with a product with support, RedHat Linux. Since they
 are public and will offer us good support we have chosen them as our
 prefered platform for future developement.
