tftp not working....

All
I have been having this issue with ignite. I put this question on the forun last time but all answers seem to not work. In adding a client to my Ignite server, for some reason tftp does noot work. It is not commented out on the services file and inetd.conf file. in the /usr/adm/inetd.sec file I have allowed tftp to my ignite server. I am running HPUX 11i on the server. The clients are varied from 10.20, 11.00 and 11i. HP support tells me it is tftp. I have opened ALL services in the services and inetd.conf files. Yet, the answer is all the same. Cannot tftp. WHAT IS WRONG ?????

hi,

the tftp port is open or not.

#netstat -an |grep 69
udp 0 0 *.69 *.*
43692200 dgram 0 0 42c3d800 42a9a700 0 0 /opt/dcelocal/var/rpc/local/01379/c-3/7000

see the man page of tftpd

+ If no path is specified on the command line, tftpd requires
an entry in the /etc/passwd database (see passwd(4)) for an
account (pseudo-user) named tftp. The password field
should be *, the group membership should be guest, and the
login shell should be /usr/bin/false. For example
(assuming the guest group ID is 101):

tftp:*:510:101:tftp server:/home/tftpdir:/usr/bin/false

regds,
