Hi all,
I have setup tftp on centos 4 before an it worked.
I am not setting up tftp on centos 5.
I have added many -v -v -v -v to the tftp config file.
/var/log/messages shows me connection from the IP address - but no
errors.
My client eventually times out as the file is not being provided.
It works by the way on localhost, just not from a client. selinux is
turned off.
I iptables turned off.
tftp is running and my files are in /tftpboot
everything is read accesss.
I did the yum install tftp-server as normal.
Nothing is in my hosts.allow and hosts.deny
why might my client be timing out...
Thanks,
Jerry

It sounds like /var/log/messages indicates DHCP success, but you still
might not have TFTP set up correctly ... possibly a wrong next-server
address in the DHCP
configuration file? Is /tftpboot structured correctly? Is tftp enabled
for xinetd.d (it's usually off by default)? There are lots of things
that could be going on.
Something like Cobbler (http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/)* might help you
with netboot setup if you aren't sure exactly what is up, and at least
covers 90% of those
kinds of setup problems. Getting the IP addresses right/DHCP, etc, is
still up to you ... but it helps some with that.
