ALErs -

I'm having some trouble setting up TFTP service from an Ubuntu-9.04 'desktop' installation. I installed 'tftpd-hpa' and have tried to configure it, but don't get even local service to my own login.

My '/etc/inetd.conf' includes:
'tftp   dgram udp nobody /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot'

Ownership and permissions on that directory are:
$ ls -l /var/lib
...
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody root ... tftpboot
...

I also have '/etc/xinetd.d/tftp-hpa' as:
"service tftp
{
protocol = udp
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = nobody
# group = nobody
group = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = /var/lib/tftpboot
# only_from = 10.59.0.0
disable = no
}"

Turning off the firewall is no help. Incoming 'tftp' to another server works fine.

Any ideas how to get this going?

TIA.
