Hi all,
I have a centos 5 box I have setup, current with updates. (I have done this many times on centos 4). I did the yum install tftp-server, changed the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file as shown.
# 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 { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -v -s /tftpboot disable = no per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 }
Did the service xinetd restart.
Now from another computer on the network I am trying manually "tftp IP -c get myfile" and nothing happens.
/tftpboot permissions are: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 2 16:26 tftpboot the myfile is also world readable in that directory.
I have disabled the iptables "service iptables stop".
I ran "tcpdump port 69" to show me all tftp traffic an I see NOTHING when I manually run the tftp command above on another computer. The second computer can ssh into the server no problem.
I can, on the server, to tftp localhost -c get myfile and that works fine.
What or HOW can I determine why I cannot tftp from that machine? This seems so straight forward.
Thanks, frustrated me...
Jerry
unbelievable - ended up being a DHCP issue.
thanks for the suggestions.
