Scott,
Here are my tftp setups:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/xinetd.d$ cat tftp
# default: on
# description: tftp service on port 69
service tftp
{
disable = no
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
type = unlisted
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/xinetd.d$ cat tftpmvc
# default: on
# description: The VMware remote access authentification daemon
service tftpmvc
{
disable = no
port = 16869
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
type = unlisted
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/xinetd.d$ grep tftp /etc/services
tftp 69/udp
tftpmvc 16869/udp # tftp protocol on high port no.
=============================================================
If you are using inetd instead of xinetd the setup will be
slightly different, typically a line in inetd.conf per
server instead of a file per server in xinetd.d . The 2 lines
in /etc/services should apply whether you are using
xinetd or inetd .
My xinetd seems to log tftp activity when xinetd gets a
service request on one of the 2 ports in daemon.log .
Here is an extract:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log# grep tftp daemon.log*
Mar 17 18:58:36 localhost xinetd[5220]: Reading included configuration
file: /etc/xinetd.d/tftp [file=/etc/xinetd.d/tftp] [line=26]
Mar 17 18:58:36 localhost xinetd[5220]: Reading included configuration
file: /etc/xinetd.d/tftpmvc [file=/etc/xinetd.d/tftpmvc] [line=13]
Pretty sure my media player is an H3 model.
Hope this helps,
Richard.

Okay there is actually more to this...
I am running Mandriva 2008 on a 64 bit machine. In the main howtos there
was fortunately some information on the differences with Mandriva in that
/tftpboot actually gets put in /var/lib/tftpboot. I followed this howto for
most of my effort:
http://whypaythemtodoitforyou.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
In there he mentions his problems related to listening on ports 69 and
16869. See here:
The recommended method of enabling a standard tftp service on the MythDora
box (which is just a distro of Fedora Core 6 running MythTV) is to edit the
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and change the "disabled = yes" to "disabled = no".
For some reason this did not work for me, but fortunately there is another
relatively easy method that works just as well, and works for both the port
69 and port 16869 instance of tftp.
Edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and add the following lines
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -a :16869 -s /tftpboot -v
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -a -s /tftpboot -v
I did this but the difference for me with Mandriva is to make it:
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -a :16869 -s /var/lib/tftpboot -v
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -a -s /var/lib/tftpboot -v
I hope that this can help someone else get a little further
Now I am off to my next stumbling block...SFS
