#5 tftp problem ?
I am having a small drama with the tftp side of things (I think). I am rather new
to ltsp and have been casually using linux for 3 years.
Setup:-
*RedHat 7.3
*dhcp works (can check using netstat)
*can 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and watch server assign ip address to
workstation 1
*'Me' displays as 192.168.0.10, 'Server' displays as 192.168.0.254,
'Gateway' displays as 192.168.0.254 (all on workstation)
*Loading 192.168.0.254:/lts/vmlinux-2.4.18-ltsp-1 (same as kernel file in
/tftpboot/lts directory)
*Worksataion sits there displaying last message and occasionally adds a ..
* last few entrys in '/var/log/messages' shows:-
Sep 9 22:25:01 server dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:20:18:2d:06:38 via
eth0
Sep 9 22:25:01 server dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.0.10 to
00:20:18:2d:06:38 via eth0
Sep 9 22:25:01 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.0.10 from
00:20:18:2d:06:38 via eth0
Sep 9 22:25:01 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.0.10 to
00:20:18:2d:06:38 via eth0
I have installed latest tftp rpm from RedHat site using 'rpm -ivf
filename.i386.rpm' and server replies 'package already installed'. Package
does not show up in service-conf (under Xwindow control panel) nor in
/etc/xinetd.d/.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Brendan,
Don't know if you've given up on this by now or solved it on
your own, but what you need to do after you've installed the
tftpd RPM is to go and enable the service.
To do this, you'll need to edit (vi) the file /etc/xinitd.d/tftp and
look for the line that says something like
disabled = yes
and have it read
disabled = no
Save the file, then simply restart the xinitd service.
(/sbin/service xinitd restart).
This should get things going. If you still have trouble, be sure
to check your firewall configuration. Remember that TFTP
runs on UDP port 69.
It may also help to simply disable your firewall while testing
the solution (off of the main network, of course) just to rule
out that factor.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
