18238 socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 13
18238 connect(13, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path="
/var/run/.nscd_socket"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)

If inetd needs to restart a service over a certain number of times in a certain period (normally 1 minute) then it stops it assuming it's broken. You should check: 1) Are the arguments and path to tftpd correct ? 2) Why is tftpd dieing ? You could probably do both by using strace. strace -f -p <inetd pid> -o trace.txt That should log the system calls of inetd to a file and also trace any children forked. You can then try the tftp from the router and see what blows up. good luck! Chris
