Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP4 & Suse 9

[Evan L. <eva...@ho...>]

I've setup a SuSE 9.0 with LTSP 4.0 server, and the one thing about TFTPD is 
that it's old, very old. SuSE 9.0 Profesional comes with Advanced TFTPD 
(atftpd) that has man pages for use, which is very similar to running 
in.tftpd by itself. There isn't a YaST2 GUI application for configuring it, 
but here is the command that we put into an init script:

atftpd --daemon --user root --port 69 --no-timeout

I don't think that the --port 69 is neccesary, but we added it anyway to 
make sure. It has to be run as a daemon with root permissions, or else you 
might encounter problems with file access and sometimes a client would stall 
and start issuing timeouts to the server, so by setting --no-timeout it 
fixes that.

On the dhcpd front, try running   rcdhcpd start  instead of dhcpd start. I 
have encountered this same problem with Mandrake 9.2 as well (had to run 
service dhcpd start) and am convinced it is the version of DHCPD that has 
bugs.

Hopefully this helps.

Hmm, are you sure the tftp server package is installed ?

I looked at the ltspcfg script, around line 819, and I see
it is assuming you are using xinetd to run tftpd.

Look for a file called "/etc/xinetd.d/tftp".  If you find that
file, could you send me a copy of it ?

I've not heard any reports of people frying their configuration by
using ltspcfg.  It really shouldn't be doing anything to the
samba startup scripts.
