Re: Need a public tftp and/or bootp server
Sorry for the dupe, Colin. I forgot the list on the first go. Thanks, but I think I might install Mac OS ten instead of Mac OS 9.1. I have too much Adobe software for the Mac OS.

This is true for my SS1[0]. But that's also just Sun being too lazy to implement a more complete client, and has nothing to do with the protocol per se. 0: the ancient OpenBoot in my cheers, &rw -- -- This begets the question: is some exim-friendly -- gremlin eating away at my sendmail files? --Carlos Sousa on deb/user pgphySv9v0jDU.pgp Description: PGP signature

Doesn't Sun's OpenBoot PROM code only attempt to tftp the boot loader
from the same machine which answers the RARP request?

Re: Need a public tftp and/or bootp server
To clarify: BOOTP is a broadcast-only protocol TFTP runs over IP, and thus it's perfectly possible to build publicly accessible TFTP-servers. That that's not got anything to do with security is another matter altogether as is that some vendors didn't include the necessary stacks and options with their TFTP-clients. cheers, &rw -- -- In the first place, God made idiots; -- though this was for practice only; -- then he made users.

There are some free TFTP servers for Windows (I can send it by mail it is a very small program), you only need to download again your images. I installed my U5 this way :-). Florent

It's quiet the same as an ftp-server, but over UDP (I guess) and without any AAA-mechanism (OK, you can permit only some IPs you want to by a wrapper)! It would be insecurity at its best.
