Description fwancho 2000-11-18 18:40:01 UTC 
/etc/inetd.conf:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s /home/cisco

ll -d /home/cisco:
drwxrwxrwx   2 nobody   daemon   3072 Nov 17 20:39 /home/cisco/

ll /home/cisco/junk:
-rwxrwxrwx  1 nobody  daemon  19 Nov 17 23:08 /home/cisco/junk*

ps -ax | fgrep inetd:
 5408  ??  Is     0:00.00 inetd -wW

Extract from /etc/hosts.allow:
tftpd : localhost 127.0.0.1 : allow
tftpd : ALL : deny

Do: tftp localhost
put junk
(five lines of Send WRQ attempts)

Some time later...

/var/log/messages:
Nov 18 15:39:45 new-dns tftpd[4978]: read: Connection refused
Nov 18 15:39:49 new-dns tftpd[4981]: read: Connection refused
Nov 18 15:39:54 new-dns tftpd[4983]: read: Connection refused
Nov 18 15:40:00 new-dns tftpd[4985]: read: Connection refused
Nov 18 15:40:07 new-dns tftpd[4987]: read: Connection refused

NOTE: Everything else in /var/log/messages is timestamped MST except TFTP entries, which appear to be GMT...

Fix: 

Copy tftpd from 3.4-RELEASE to /usr/local/libexec
Change /etc/inetd.conf to reference above location.
No other changes required.
Works just fine.
How-To-Repeat: See above.
