Try looking in /var/log/syslog; that is where my tftp requests show up. I
can't really help with the entry in /etc/inetd.conf since I use
/etc/xinetd.conf. Here are my entries for LTSP in xinetd.conf:

service bootps
{
	socket_type     =3D dgram
	protocol        =3D udp
	wait            =3D yes
	user            =3D root
	server          =3D /usr/sbin/bootpd
	server_args     =3D -i -t 120
}

service tftp
 {
 	socket_type	=3D dgram
 	protocol	=3D udp
 	wait		=3D yes
 	user		=3D root
 	server		=3D /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
 	server_args	=3D -s /tftpboot
 	disable	 	=3D no
 	 }
--=20

Yes that helped. TFTP is not running properly. the DHCP lines show in 
syslog & the fact that it can't find tftp is also shown.

Sadly xinet looks very different from inet so I'll have to follow up that.

Many thanks for your help
