Hi Grant,
Thanks for the support.
I had this same problem when trying to back upmy 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 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.
I would not run tftpd as user root! "-u root"
I have tftpd server working in CentOS 5 via xinetd you can also get xinetd to start up an instance at startup and keep it running with an option if that is what it takes to make it work.
