similar to: Issue with running tftpd-hpa in inetd mode?

Hopefully I'm not out to lunch here. I ported tftp-hpa to our proprietary OS, VOS (at stratus.com). We've always runs the old legacy tftpd from inetd, so I wanted to continue doing so with tftp-hpa. It seems to work okay, but I noticed that the code in tftpd.c has a 'while (1)' loop that has this at the end: /* * Now that we have read the request packet from

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, 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

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

Good day, Just a quick question- could someone please confirm that this is the correct xinetd configuration (or not) for hpa-tftp? We've noticed that, when under moderate load hpa-tftpd resides in memory, even after there are no connections or even if xinetd is shut down. Under light load the server goes away after each connection, as desired. Thanks in advance! service tftp {

I configure the system of remote boot. Almost all was done. But one simple problem. tftp doesn't download pxelinux.0 from boot-server, in.tftpd is running at. Problem isn't in pxelinux.0, but in protocol itself. I've created test file "test" in /tftpboot and tried to download it but "Timeout occured". From /var/log/messages: Mar 27 16:32:27 dk in.tftpd[26576]:

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 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

Hi, I have been running TFTPD server for 3 weeks and performed about 100 deployments. After that, TFTPD started throwing the follwing errotrs in /var/log/messages Aug 20 21:52:55 RTP-OSP-Server tftpd[7146]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.allow: Too many open files Aug 20 21:52:55 RTP-OSP-Server tftpd[7146]: warning: cannot open /etc/hosts.deny: Too many open files Aug 20 21:52:55 RTP-OSP-Server

I sure did check the firewall and selinux as well. As an extreme testing major, they are both turned off. $ systemctl status firewalld firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon ? ?Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; disabled) ? ?Active: inactive (dead) sestatus? SELinux status: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? disabled Actually, now tftp transfers are denied $ tftp 127.0.0.1

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

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a TFTP server to serve as repository for the config of all my Cisco network devices. As per the the tftpd man, I've added the "-c" option into the /etc/ xinetd.d/tftp (as follows) but I still cannot get write access (unless the file is already present). [root at chl1 ~]# cd /etc/xinetd.d [root at chl1 xinetd.d]# cat tftp # default: off #

I had this problem fixed by setting the ownership of the root tftp directory, "must be set to nobody as this is the default user ID setup by tftpd" as specified in this tutorial http://blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=setting_up_a_tftp_server However, I do not know if the ownership set to nobody is essential with Fedora because SELinux requires it or if it is a general good practice for

hey guys, I have a really silly question for you! I just built a cobbler server that I am using to bare metal some boxes. But I am a bit n00b and need to figure out which ports to open in iptables. Here's a start: xinetd 2031 root 8u IPv4 94306 UDP *:tftp in.tftpd 9203 root cwd DIR 253,0 4096 588097 /tftpboot

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

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
