help diagnosing tftp server on centos 5 - fixed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]




Hi all,

I have a centos 5 box I have setup, current with updates. (I have done this many times on centos 4). I did the yum install tftp-server, changed the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file as shown.

# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
#       protocol.  The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
#       and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = -v -s /tftpboot
        disable                 = no
        per_source              = 11
        cps                     = 100 2
        flags                   = IPv4
}


Did the service xinetd restart.

Now from another computer on the network I am trying manually "tftp IP -c get myfile"
and nothing happens.

/tftpboot permissions are: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 2 16:26 tftpboot
the myfile is also world readable in that directory.

I have disabled the iptables "service iptables stop".

I ran "tcpdump port 69" to show me all tftp traffic an I see NOTHING when I manually
run the tftp command above on another computer.
The second computer can ssh into the server no problem.

I can, on the server, to tftp localhost -c get myfile and that works fine.

What or HOW can I determine why I cannot tftp from that machine?
This seems so straight forward.

Thanks, frustrated me...

unbelievable - ended up being a DHCP issue.
