Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Help : Diskless Workstation cannot connect server (correction - typing mistake)

[Stephen L. <sa...@wr...>]

Hi Abdullah,

Thanks for your advice.

tftp-server-0.28-2.is86.rpm installed.  Now I come to another problem TFTP 
file not found.  Please refer to my test reports as below :

rpm -qa | grep tftp  makes sure "tftp" there


(TEST NO. 1)
============
Original /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
#       protocol.  The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
#       workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
#       and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
         socket_type             = dgram
         protocol                = udp
         wait                    = yes
         user                    = root
         server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
         server_args             = -s /tftpboot
         disable         = no    (Remark: default = yes)
         per_source              = 11
         cps                     = 100 2
}

Stop ipchains

# netstat -an|grep ":67"
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:67              0.0.0.0:*
