Thanks for opening the bugzilla, Johnny.  We just discovered this issue on
minimal netinstall as well.

James:

Check the java.security file for your JRE.  I'm running OpenJDK 8 on Cent
6.6 and it's located at /usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/security/java.security.  I
haven't made any changes to the java.security file, which shows SSLv3 is
already disabled:  jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3

I got bit by this bug as well.  I rolled back to dovecot-0.9.11-9 for now
until I find time to upgrade to CentOS 5 or 6.

Are you sure about Dag already offering Nagios 3?  I don't see any mention

I had this same problem when trying to back up my switch configs.  After
some googling, I found a workaround for RH-based systems.  The workaround is
disable tftp in xinetd, and run in.tftpd manually.  I never figured out why
it would not work with xinetd.

Here's the post about this problem on fedora forum:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-109735.html

Here's the ugly workaround:

In /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, set disable  = yes
Restart xinetd (/etc/init.d/xinetd restart)
Run in.tftpd (for example, "/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -c -v -u root -s
/tftpboot")
You can add the previous command to /etc/rc.local to make it start on boot.
