Well, but tftp-hpa is specifically on topic for this mailing list, so 
it's off base.  However, we do get a lot of off-topic queries to this 
mailing list, so since Geert obviously didn't know about that somewhat 
peculiar auxillary use of this mailing list, it's an understandable mistake.

Looking at your original email:

tftp    dgram   udp     wait    nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd  -s /tftpboot
/usr/local/tftp/sbin/in.tftpd

... your mistake is clearly putting tftpd options after the invocation 
to tcpd but before the tftpd filename.

Ditch tcpd, for tftp-hpa it's not needed (nor useful), *especially* if, 
as you say, you're on a trusted subnet.
