I am following instructions on:
http://designsomething.org/leopardboard/f/22/p/102/177.aspx#177
When I was doing "You should create the following file /etc/xinet.d/tftp with this contents:" I found out that /etc/xinet.d does not exist on my system:
ls /etc/xinet.dls: cannot access /etc/xinet.d: No such file or directory
Did I miss a step somewhere?
My host runs Ubuntu 9.10 and all three of the tftp tftpd xinetd packages were just installed, per instructions.
There is an /etc/xinetd.d (I assume a 'd' was dropped from the name in the instructions), and only root has permission to write to it:
sudo vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
works. It would be good to update the instructions accordingly so newbies like me don't make my mistakes :)
If you are using ubuntu 9.10 this file should be created, please check:
/etc/inetd.conf:
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /srv/tftp

Thanks! Yes /etc/inetd.conf has it. So I do not need the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp? Right?
