Depends on your flavor of Linux and what you have installed to manage your 
inbound network connections.  For CentOS/xinetd you will have a directory 
/etc/xinetd.d with a file "tftp".  Edit this file and change the line that 
says "disable = yes" to "disable = no".  You then need to send a HUP 
signal to the xinetd process to get it reread these configs.  Get the 
process ID with "ps -eaf | grep xinetd", then send it the signal with 
"kill -1 <pid>".

If you don't have xinetd installed you may have regular inetd.  In this 
case edit /etc/inetd.conf, find the line that starts with "tftp" and make 
sure it isn't commented out.  Send the HUP signal to the inetd process as 
above.

In any case you should see attempts to GET or PUT files in 
/var/log/messages (or /var/log/*tftpd*).
