In the future, you may want to use chkconfig to do this. In this
case you would run "chkconfig tftp on". This will change the disable
line in the config file, and tell xinetd about the change. When you
edit it by hand, you have to tell xinetd about the change. One way
is to run "service xinetd reload". (You can also run something like
"killall -USR2 xinetd" or "killall -HUP xinetd.)
