    Jay,

    the line should look like

    [10:46am]root@server0/etc#grep tftp /etc/inetd.conf
    tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s /tftp

    after you have added this HUP inetd (killall -1 inetd)

    then

    mkdir /tftp
    touch /tftp/test-file

    set your permissions and your tftp server is ready to except a file called
    test-file

    Hope that helps,

    Thanks
    Keith
