[ale] Debian tftp (continued)

[David Corbin]

Here is my inetd.conf line for tftp.  I *DID* restart the inetd daemon
to make sure it had the latest settings.

tftp        dgram   udp wait    nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd 
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd  /tftproot

The file in question does exist with 0777 permissions.  The directory
also has 0777 permissions. A close investigation reveals that the udp
packets ARE arriving (tcpdump), but that tftpd does not appear to be
starting (ps).  I can find no relevant log entries either.

Any further suggestions?
