> Correct. Like most UDP-based inetd services, tftpd is intended to be run in 'wait' mode. When the first request arrives, inetd starts the service but does not read the incoming packet (it can't, because it has no way to pass it along to the server). After that, inetd ignores that socket until the server exits. This isn't critical for tftp, but it does help to keep down the

Hello, Peter and others! there are some issues regarding the tftp-hpa server: 1. Running as Windows service seems to require that the application does not detach (otherwise "net start" says smth. like "could not start, the service didn't report any errors"). The attached patch adds the option "-n", which can be used to have tftpd run in foreground.

Hi, This is my current patch queue. The patches are independent, AFAIK, so feel free to cherry-pick or reject them independently. The bottom one was needed for a successful build here; the top one contains all the modifications you requested on IRC, and more. Meanwhile I hit one of the four stray TABs in tftpd.c, and decided to get rid of them. Comments welcome. --- Ferenc Wagner (5):

The default path is /var/run/tftpd-hpa.pid, which can be overridden by the newly introduced -P option. On normal termination (SIGTERM or SIGINT) the pid file is automatically removed. Moved setting the umask later, right before entering the select loop, so that it does not affect the permissions of the pid file.

Hi, I have a question on tftpd on Slackware - I know this is an embedded Linux forum, but I think it still must be the appropriate place to ask. I have hpa-tftpd V0.40 on Slackware 9.1. No matter what I do, I can't get files transferred to the tftp server. I just get timeouts - no messages in /var/log/messages or in /var/log/syslog - just dealthly silence. This is the configuration line

This is more a question than a serious proposal. The name of the pid file should probably be configurable, and it should be unlinked on normal termination, but no such thing exists in standalone mode. SIGTERM and SIGINT should be catched and considered normal, I guess. Signed-off-by: Ferenc Wagner <wferi at niif.hu> --- tftpd/tftpd.c | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0

Hello, I've looked at some bugs reports for tftpd-hpa and it seems that it explicitly wants to be executed with root privileges and fails if it's not. Could tftpd-hpa check for root privileges before trying to call initgroups(setgroups), setuid/setreuid and chroot() ? (and probably complain when -s is called and UID is not 0). Or do you find it useless and need for root privileges so

hi, i try to get this tsize capable tftpd running, but it doesn't fork. (as read the strace output and the process table) strace: 9122 execve("/usr/sbin/in.tftpd", ["/usr/sbin/in.tftpd", "-u", "nobody", "-s", "/var/tftpboot/"], [/* 35 vars */]) = 0 9122 uname({sys="Linux", node="saturn", ...}) = 0 9122

Hello, I need help in setting up tftpd-hpa to send a kernel to a client, on a debian woody installation. I did manage the feat when using tftpd to send a kernel to a client which had a separate network interface card, but I would like to do it with integrated LAN. Trials with tftpd failed with error messages starting with 'PXE', and later I learned that tftpd-hpa is needed for the PXE

AI_CANONNAME is only relevant when the resulting official name is used, which is not the case in tftpd for the address to bind to. Also AI_ADDRCONFIG isn't helpful. This flag is good for sockets used to connect(2) somewhere. But for listening sockets it makes tftpd fail to start when -a 0.0.0.0:69 is passed and no network device is up yet. This addresses Debian bug

Hi, I have a tftp client which loads quite happily from a tftpd built from netkit-tftp-0.16 but which fails to load from from a tftpd built from tftp-hpa 0.29. In both cases, tftpd was built from pristine sources and run from xinetd under Redhat 7.3. [netkit-tftp-0.16 is the ancestor of tftp-hpa, predating HPA's maintenance of same] [the tftp client also.. .. fails with the prebuilt tftpd

Hello everyone, I am having difficulties in setting up a tftp server on a Fedora 3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64. Running tftp client to test the server functionality, a simple get from the terminal prompts 'Transfer timed out.' back. The version is tftp-hpa 5.2, with remap, with tcpwrappers, unfortunately I am not able to find any log in the system journal.? The server and related services appear

Hello, we have two diskless machines in a routed network. Both get their IP adresse and tftp configuration via dhcp.

Hi! I am using OpenBSD 4.4 with the build-in TFTP-Daemon for PXE. Distributing OpenBSD works fine. Now I want to distribute OpenBSD and WinPE. I've installed PXELinux 3.72 and configured it. Works also fine for PXELinux and distributing OpenBSD. To distribute WinPE I need a remap rule (\ -> /) for the TFTP-Daemon. I've created a file /etc/tftpd.remap with the following rule: rgG \\ /

I''ve been poking around my system, and realized that having a tftp server would be handy. (I''m working with cisco routers, which have the capability to up and download configuration images via tftp.) However, I''m not content with the usual tftpd that comes with Linux. The whole "specify each directory you want" scheme is cock-eyed to me. I''d prefer

It seems that tftpd-hpa is more suitable at serving arbitrarily large files (greater than 65535 blocks long; with pxelinux.0 using a default block size of 1408 this is 92,273,280 bytes) as atftpd will complain in the log stating "Requested file to big, increase BLKSIZE". I saw that a while back HPA mentioned that atftpd was probably more scalable (number of clients) while tftpd-hpa is
