tftpd returns "port unreachable" error  
Hi,

I have a requirement to start "tftpd" service in mpc85xx target card.

1. I edited the "inetd.conf" and "services" files as follows and then restarted the card. 
   /etc/inetd.conf has the configuration:
           tftp dgram udp nowait root  /proc/boot/tftpd in.tftpd -s /software/dir
    /etc/services has the configuration
           tftp   69/udp 
           tftpd 69/udp

2. At startup "netstat -a | grep tftp" gives:
                    udp        0      0  *.tftp                 *.*

3. From the client card when I tftp to the server card and tried to get a file that is placed in the tftp root 
directory(the path specified in the inetd.conf) of the server, I get "Transfer timed out". 

4. After this the "netstat -a | grep tftp" command in the server card does not display anything.

5. tcpdump on the server card shows, the following error: "UDP port tftp unreachable".

6. tcpdump on the client card also shows, the following error: "UDP port tftp unreachable".

 
How can we verify that tftpd is running?
Are there any other configurations to run tftpd properly?
