Jim I had replied to this thread earlier, but apparently my post was lost. Anyway here it is again: I have had good results by installing the tftpd-hpa package. You can run it from either inetd or standalone. For running the standalone version you need to disable it in /etc/inetd.conf and set the relevant flag to "yes" in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa To check whether the server is running, install some tftp client (say tftp-hpa), then try getting a file from the machine: == $ tftp localhost tftp> get somefile == If you get an error almost immediately saying the file could not be found, that means the server is running :) -- Raj Kiran Grandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, I've called "$ sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart", but tftpd doesn't seem work. I tried a tftp client, but could not get files. Also I tried "netstat -a | grep tftp", nothing shown up??

By --reinstalling it, the files should be there now. you can verify with dpkg -l tftpd which should now show ... ii tftpd blah blah blah and dpkg -L tftpd which should show a handful of files (its a pretty small package). and now you can try restarting inet.d and see what happens.

The TFTP server operates at the port indicated in the `tftp' service description; see services(5). The server is normally started by inetd(8). Tag: admin::boot, admin::file-distribution, filetransfer::ftp, interface::daemon, network::server, protocol::ftp, protocol::ip, role::program, use::configuring So, the tftpd is the tftp server, what's going here?? > will provide the package description and various details such as > dependencies. > > > Indeed, from packages.debian.org and the package description, looks > like tftpd expects to start form inet.d, so you'd have to put the > proper entries in inet.d.conf and will not see the daemon running > unless someone's actually connected. Well, my inetd.conf contains following tftp: tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /srv/tftp How to start/stop/restart the intd?

Useful bits: dpkg -L tftpd will show you what files were installed by that package. to see what a package contains before installing it: apt-cache show tftpd will provide the package description and various details such as dependencies. Indeed, from packages.debian.org and the package description, looks like tftpd expects to start form inet.d, so you'd have to put the proper entries in inet.d.conf and will not see the daemon running unless someone's actually connected.

Jim Anything running from inetd is not running all of the time. Processes that start from inetd only start when a connection from the outside hits that port.
