How are you determining that tftpd is not working? The reason it is
being run by xinetd is that xinetd is kind of a super-server; it
runs as a daemon process and only launches tftpd when it is needed.
That's why I said to check to see if xinetd is running, not tftpd.
I don't exactly know what Mandrake Control Panel does for starting and
stopping services ... but if it really is reporting whether tftpd is
running now, well that's right. If it is supposed to be reporting
whether tftpd is enabled in xinetd, then something is wrong.
Have you tried booting from a diskless workstation? How far does it
get?
