Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm looking to set up a PXE server. The
permissions on the directory provided to atftpd are 777 as specified in the
usage. I don't see how host.{allow,deny} make any difference with whether
or not the server starts. I'll give tftp-hpa a try, and I'll look in to
gpxe.
Thanks,

I've only ever used tftp for pxe servers - deprecated with gpxe (http is
much faster and simpler) - if that's what you want to use tftp for
you'll find tftpd-hpa much simpler to configure.
What permissions do you have on the directory being served??
Have you set up:-
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
??
If you can tell me a little more about what you want to use tftp for
more it may be helpful.
Cheers
