The leading # indicates that this entry has been disabled. So you must 
have a stand-alone instance of a TFTP service running, if it is working 
as you indicate below. The 'lsof' command the other poster mentioned 
should help you track down which process it is that's providing the service.

In any case, you'll want to review the setup steps you've taken so far, 
and possibly revert some of the changes you made, such as modifying 
rc.local. I'd recommend running your TFTP service via inetd, rather than 
as a stand-alone daemon. It's more efficient for something that is used 
rarely.

As I recall these are redundant with the atftpd defaults, and thus 
unnecessary, but the atftpd package seems to set things up that way.

Seems you've dropped the "t" on the end. I assume that's just a 
cut-and-paste error in the email.

xinetd is an enhanced version of the inetd super daemon. It provides a 
few extra features that aren't necessary for what you're attempting to 
do. It normally starts up when the system boots.

You should be able to run 'aptitude install openbsd-inetd' to get the 
stock inetd installed. Aptitude will point out the conflict with xinetd 
and prompt you to remove it.

Your experiment seemed to prove that out. Running 'ps auxww | fgrep 
tftp' might also show you the command line with that path, if you do 
indeed have a stand-alone TFTP service running.

OK, good. You should be able to move on to examining other causes for 
your mvpmc boot failure.

Are you using version H or newer MVP hardware? If so, have you set up a 
TFTP server running on the high numbered port, as indicated in my last 
post. (The guides on the wiki ought to cover this in more detail.)

Small difference between what I posted and what you saw? Or between what 
you saw and the file on your server? It should be precisely identical to 
the file on your server.
