>Description:
The line in the Handbook does not match our default in /etc/inetd.conf.
The user has to be root, because the tftpd does a chroot.
From tftpd(8):
Because chroot(2) requires super-user privileges, tftpd must
be run as root. However, after performing the chroot(), tftpd will set
its user id to that of the specified user, or ``nobody'' if no -u option
is specified.
