Hi All,

does the -s in the path in this file represent a soft link.? If so,
where would I find this link's path..?

[root@localhost xinetd.d]# cat tftp
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/bin/tftp
server_args = -s /tftpboot
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
}


As far as I have my system configured this is what's in my tftp config :
service tftp
{
       disable = no
       socket_type             = dgram
       protocol                = udp
       wait                    = yes
       user                    = root
       server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
       server_args             = -s /tftpboot
       per_source              = 11
       cps                     = 100 2
       flags                   = IPv4
}


Watch the server type. it is different as yours and more likely to be used . I'm running FC3

PS you should have tftp-server rpm installed.
My guess is that you only have the tftp client package installed which
indeed uses /usr/bin/tftp and this is not the network tftp services
daemon.
tftp is kind of chewen out and should work on almost any system.


Hi All,

well, I'll be bamboozled...that was it...thanx Edwin...I didn't even know there was a difference between server/client...annoying that netstat showed xinetd listening on 69 when in fact, it couldn't have been, technically, because the server wasn't there...can anyone tell me what would have been more clear in showing whether tftp was there or not..? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
