I'm trying to get a Soekris box to boot from an OpenBSD tftp server.
I've gotten my DHCP server working, but I'm having trouble with my tftpd
configuration. (I guess it's not so Trivial as I thought! :-))

When the client attempts to retrieve pxeboot from the tftp server, the
client times out and on the server I get the following (unhelpful)
message dumped to the syslog:

tftpd[xxxx]: oack: Permission denied
...
tftpd[xxxx]: nak: Permission denied

This happens with any remote client. Interestingly, if I attempt to tftp
from the server locally, it works fine: only remote clients have a problem.

My tftp daemon is started from inetd (which I guess technically makes it
not a daemon at all); I just uncommented the tftpd lines in the
distributed inetd.conf file.

Obviously, there's some sort of network permissions configuration layer
I'm missing. Any ideas of where to look?
