Norm, You can't start tftp like that. It is started from xinetd.
All you need to do is look at /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and make sure it doesn't have "disable = yes". Once you've verified that, then restart xinetd. service xinetd restart Then, to verify that it is ok, do this: netstat -anp | grep ":69 " That will tell us if anything is listening on udp port 69. It should report that xinetd is listening. As for the problem witn 'IN A' I don't know what is causing that problem, but I'm inclined to think that it isn't a problem for you (not yet, anyway). Jim.
