Bug Description

Using cobbler-2.2.2-0ubuntu21

The cobbler project ships an internal python tftpd.py server. If modules.conf is changed to use this, then the /etc/cobbler/tftpd.template file is used to create an xinitd service entry. This template contains an entry called binary which then substitutes the binary name /usr/sbin/tftpd.py

The ubuntu packaging has renamed tftpd.py to tftpd but the template substitution incorrectly uses /usr/sbin/tftpd.py.

The workaround is simple: Hard code the template file to use /usr/sbin/tftpd.
