I'm trying to set up a TFTP server on my machine (Ubuntu 13.04 LTS I
think, or maybe 12.04 LTS).  It's hpa-tftp, run by xinetd.  I need it to
download the firmware loader into a router so I can put DD-WRT on it.
How do I configure the server?  Is there some file that maps a MAC
address to a given file?  Does the client identify itself somehow and
the image needs to be named a certain thing or in a certain place to
go to that client?  Does the server log something on success?  Do I have
to do something to hosts_allow to enable it?  Curious minds, etc.

Oh, the xinetd control file I have is:

{
            socket_type     = dgram
            protocol        = udp
            wait            = yes
            user            = root
            server          = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
            server_args     = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
}

Does that look reasonable?  Thanks
