hi John-Paul, xinetd service are a bit special -- what essentially happens is that xinet listens on the port concerned, and when an incoming request happens, it starts the service as specified in the file (like the one below). typical services that use the xinetd are telnet, ftp, popx, imap, etc.. daemons such as httpd or smtp, typically are started individually and forked into the background and remain there whether or not there is activity.
could you change "disable = yes" in your tftp file in /etc/xinetd, do a "service restart xinted", and try to tftp? I have a hunch that there are maybe two services competing for port 69. cheers Christropher CUSE RHCE/CCNA -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John-Paul Delaney Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 11:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: understanding tftp Thanks Gene... I completely mis-interpreted that output :( . This is the contents of the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file: disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s -c -l /tftpboot per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 How then, is the tftp server started? thanks /j-p.
