When you enter in.tftp into /etc/inetd.conf, then you send a HUP to inetd
and let it call it. In this case, you don't call it manually.

Also, the tftp entry you grepped is without relevance. It calls tcpd, which
is from tcpwrappers. But it doesn't call in.tftpd in turn. So maybe you
uncomment that line.


Please post you next message only after you read

man in.tftpd
man inetd
man inetd.conf

You should also read section 3.2 in the FAI manual, and do it as described there.


Whenever you do   in.tftpd &     you do something wrong. PERIOD.
