Hi Grant,
Thanks for the support.
I had this same problem when trying to back up my switch configs. After some googling, I found a workaround for RH-based systems. The workaround is disable tftp in xinetd, and run in.tftpd manually. I never figured out why it would not work with xinetd.
May I ask you to tell me the detailed steps to achieve that... I'm an absolute beginner! :-)
Thanks again, Davide
Here's the post about this problem on fedora forum: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-109735.html
Here's the ugly workaround:
In /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, set disable = yes Restart xinetd (/etc/init.d/xinetd restart) Run in.tftpd (for example, "/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -c -v -u root -s /tftpboot") You can add the previous command to /etc/rc.local to make it start on boot.
