this is it Jim : $ cat /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/lsp } and the section in /etc/dhcpd.conf is : $ cat dhcpd.conf subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { # default gateway option routers 192.168.1.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option domain-name "home.user"; option domain-name-servers 194.168.4.100; option nis-domain "domain.org"; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.22; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 43200; # we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address host ws001 { hardware ethernet 00:10:A7:10:D4:79; filename "vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-6"; fixed-address 192.168.1.4; option option-128 E4:45:74:68:00:00; option option-129 "NIC=rtl8139"; } > Once you've verified that, then restart xinetd. > > service xinetd restart > > Then, to verify that it is ok, do this: > > netstat -anp | grep ":69 " Thanks again Jim, Problem is that I understood that was the way it should work. and netstat -an | grep ":69 " does say that tcp is listening on port 69. But I still cannot connect and although xinetd is doing it's stuff it looks as if tftp is not actually running at any time. How can I check that it will function? I can launch the test tftp test client and I suppose it will do something but how will i know for sure? tia, norm > > That will tell us if anything is listening on udp port 69. > It should report that xinetd is listening. > > As for the problem witn 'IN A' I don't know what is causing > that problem, but I'm inclined to think that it isn't a problem > for you (not yet, anyway). > > Jim. > > On Fri, 5 Apr 2002, Norman wrote: > > > Jim, > _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
