Scott,
Here are my tftp setups:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/xinetd.d$ cat tftp
# default: on
# description: tftp service on port 69
service tftp
{
disable = no
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
type = unlisted
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/xinetd.d$ cat tftpmvc
# default: on
# description: The VMware remote access authentification daemon
service tftpmvc
{
disable = no
port = 16869
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
type = unlisted
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/xinetd.d$ grep tftp /etc/services
tftp 69/udp
tftpmvc 16869/udp # tftp protocol on high port no.
=============================================================
If you are using inetd instead of xinetd the setup will be
slightly different, typically a line in inetd.conf per
server instead of a file per server in xinetd.d . The 2 lines
in /etc/services should apply whether you are using
xinetd or inetd .
My xinetd seems to log tftp activity when xinetd gets a
service request on one of the 2 ports in daemon.log .
Here is an extract:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log# grep tftp daemon.log*
Mar 17 18:58:36 localhost xinetd[5220]: Reading included configuration
file: /etc/xinetd.d/tftp [file=/etc/xinetd.d/tftp] [line=26]
Mar 17 18:58:36 localhost xinetd[5220]: Reading included configuration
file: /etc/xinetd.d/tftpmvc [file=/etc/xinetd.d/tftpmvc] [line=13]
Pretty sure my media player is an H3 model.
Hope this helps,
Richard.
