OK I bought a couple of those ncd explora 451's from Craig F and I'm
having a bit of a problem.

The scheme is for the ncd to get an ip and boot info from a dhcp server.
That bit is working ok. Its then supposed to get a file called Xncdxpl
from the tftp server.

The problem is then getting the boot file via tftp.

I can tftp localhost on the server and get Xncdxpl fine. 

However it doesn't want to let anything else on the network get the
file.

/etc/xinetd.d/tftp reads:

{
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = /tftpboot
        disable                 = no
       per_source              = 11
       cps                     = 100 2
}

I get an entry like this in /var/log/auth.log

contrast with a successful get from localhost:
