Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Right after posting, I finally got atftpd to work.

The init.d script seems to be broken and bails because there's no root
directory configured even though there is one specified in 
/etc/conf.d/atftpd.  So I gave up on starting it via /etc/init.d.

When running it directly from the command line, I was missing the
"--daemon" option -- which has nothing to do with whether it runs as a
daemon or not (that's controlled by "--no-fork"). It controls whether
it expects stdin to be a UDP socket or it should create and bind a
socket.

Despite the reasonably clear help text description of --daemon, I just
couldn't convince myself to add the --daemon option when I didn't want
it to run as a daemon.

I would have sworn I had at least two different tftp servers installed
at the same time in the past...
