tftp keeps timing out when I try to transfer files.  I intend to use tftp with G4U to clone 
a standard workstation. I am testing it between two Dell poweredge servers running CentOS 
4.3.  "chkconfig --list |grep tftp" shows tftp up and running on both boxes. When connected 
"tftp>status" shows it is talking to the other box
"tptp>trace" shows  "sent WRQ <file=slavelit, mode=netascii>" and ends with Transfer timed out.

I have tftp is being run under xinetd.

I have modified /etc/xinetd.d/tftpd as follows:

server_args       -p -c -U 002 -u install -s /tster

I have setup a user install, set read/write privileges on /tster which is owned by install

Not sure what else I need to do to get this working, any suggestions would be appreciated
