[syslinux] porting to tftp-hpa version tftp-server-0.39-3.el4.x86_64.rpm
Dear tftp-hpa'ers, We are migrating from Solaris 2.8 to RHEL 4.6 64 bit. So are in the process of migrating our Solaris 2.8 tftp servers (as well as lots of other servers) to the latest tftp-hpa version available to RHEL 4 users: tftp-server-0.39-3.el4.x86_64.rpm. Since this version was made available roughly a year ago would guess it probably contains roughly the same fixes as your version that was produced about a year ago so is much more current than original 0.39 that RHEL 4 included? Anyway hope these below are all general enough operating newbie type questions that could be answered even if this doesn't pin down the exact version from your tree we are running? Thanks in advance Roger hanke - Any documentation on tftp-hpa configuration/operation besides the manual pages which I have really been relying almost strictly on? - What syslog parameters are being used by tftp-hpa? By knowing them hoping it would then be possible to use syslog configuration to have tftp-hpa log to a separate file instead of mixing its lines in with everyone elses in /var/log/messages? Or is it using common ones so would just end up with a bunch of processes along with tftp-hpa all writing to the separate file?? - We need to run more than one tftp-hpa server per physical server so need to set them up to listen on specific addresses. We have used the -a command line argument to specify a single address for it to listen on. But we actually have need for it to listen on more than one interface (but not all) and saw that last -a arg seems to win, that they don't add additional interfaces to listen on it appears. Any way to listen on multiples? - Only by specifying -v command line arg do we even see the RRQ line logged everytime a request comes in. Added another 3 -v command line arguments as described in man pages but still didn't see anything else get logged, not even when there was an error during the transfer like a timeout. How can I get more output from tftp-hpa besides just RRQ lines? - With previous tftp servers we could specify the timeout I see you can on your command line, the retry timeout. In addition we could also specify the total session timeout, when the server would eventually drop the session. Doesn't appear I can set that but would at least like to know for sure what that timeout value is? Roger A. Hanke AT&T Labs rhanke at att.com 732.420.8983
