Here is a copy of /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file
transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot -v -v
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
Originally the server_args was =-s /tftpboot but we added the -v -v to
try and get more information out of the logs as to what is happening.
The was some typo's in the original message I sent, here is the correct
information that is displayed on the desktop systems screen when it
tries to boot from the network.
