You can manually move the entries over to an xinetd file. probably you should avoid inet.d and just start the service directly. > > Indeed, the tftp is in inetd.conf file.

I checked ps and grep with in.tftpd, but > could not find it. in debian services are started with an init script stored in /etc/init.d/ and linked to various runlevels in /etc/rc[S123456].d/ to start the service use either /etc/init.d/<Service name> start or invoke-rc.d <Service name> start to check the status of a service, look at ps -e (grepping as appropriate) or check invoke-rc.d <Service name> status (or /etc/init.d/<Service name>) personally, i like the /etc/init.d/ route as you get tab completion of a service name, if you happen to not remember it exactly. Many services won't actually start unless they are enabled in /etc/default/<service name>, so if you start a service and it doesn't seem to work, check there. hth A
