Jim, FYI (Re: TFTP Dots) setting user = root in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp did the trick.
Again (Running RedHat 8.0) I now get to the login screen except, I have a mostly light blue (a nice blue) background with 4 columns (plus 2 partial, one left and one right) with 4 login boxes (one in each column). Each column has darker blue horizontal lines (not quite the width of the column) up and down the column. Across the top is what looks like (hard to make out) "LTSP.org" written over it's self (large font) in yellow and the second line seems to be "Linux Terminal Server Project" in a smaller yellow font. I also have 4 cursor arrows, one in each column. I can login and get several RedHat desktop images written over themselves. The client is using the same brand and (sort of) model of video card (S3 Trio) as the server except the client uses an ISA card (16 meg) while the server has an AGP card with 32 meg (I think, may be 8 v. 16). Both client and server use the same monitor, keyboard and mouse (sharing switch box). Any suggestions Thnx, George -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 3:05 PM To: George Gambill Cc: John McCreesh; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TFTP Dots was TFTP error 2 (Access Violation) George, I'm wondering which version of tftp-server you installed. My RH8 box has a /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file that looks like this: service tftp { disable = yes socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 } One of the big differences I see is the 'user = root' statement, which I think is required for the tftp daemon to chroot itself into the /tftpboot directory. I'm guessing that it still isn't working because tftpd is failing to start. Check the /var/log/messages file for any clues.
