FC15 TFTP open timeout.

[Francis SOUYRI]

Hello,

I have this:

Sep 14 14:38:19 tauntauns1 systemd[1]: tftp.service failed to run 
'start' task: Invalid argument
Sep 14 14:38:19 tauntauns1 systemd[1]: Unit tftp.service entered failed 
state.
Sep 14 14:38:19 tauntauns1 systemd[1]: tftp.service failed to run 
'start' task: Invalid argument
Sep 14 14:38:19 tauntauns1 systemd[1]: tftp.service failed to run 
'start' task: Invalid argument
Sep 14 14:38:19 tauntauns1 systemd[1]: tftp.service failed to run 
'start' task: Invalid argument
Sep 14 14:38:19 tauntauns1 systemd[1]: tftp.service failed to run 
'start' task: Invalid argument
Sep 14 14:38:19 tauntauns1 systemd[1]: tftp.service failed to run 
'start' task: Invalid argument
Sep 14 14:38:19 tauntauns1 systemd[1]: tftp.service start request 
repeated too quickly, refusing to start.

Best regards.
