tftp server

kyle.tk · 2005-09-04 18:31:54

I am having a lot of trouble getting my tftp server to work. I am not even able to get files from myself. It always times out.
I have made a directory /var/tftpboot and put my files in it.
I added tftp: all allow to my hosts.allow.
I start tftpd and then try to get the file.

It still fails

Any advice.

Have you ever had it working in the past??

My question is, did it just now break? or are you setting it up for the first time?

hi! your supposed to put in.tftpd:all in your hosts.allow. i setup tftpd before and had this problem.

ill try the in.tftp in my hosts.allow

and yes this is my first time trying to set it up

alright so I put in.tftp: all allow in hosts.allow

log still showed connection denied from xx.xx.xx.xx so I commented out the ALL: deny: deny line in hosts.deny. Then it started working. So what would be the proper syntax in hosts.allow to allow this without allowing everything

yep, actually i was wondering if you could give me a hand. i just setup another diskless server/client thing and i'm having problems. this is what happens when i boot the client

Root-NFS: Server returned error -93 while mounting /netboot/diskless1
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

here is the dhcpd.conf

# DHCP configuration file for DHCP ISC 3.0
 
ddns-update-style none;
 
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
 
  pool {
    max-lease-time 86400;
    default-lease-time 86400;
    deny unknown clients;
    range 192.168.0.6 192.168.0.7;
}

  group {
        next-server 192.168.0.5;
        filename "/pxelinux.0";
        option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
        option routers 192.168.0.1;

  host diskless1.genesis.blogdns.net {
       hardware ethernet                00:11:09:ba:0d:90;
       fixed-address                    192.168.0.6;
       option host-name                 "diskless1.genesis.blogdns.net";
       option root-path                 "/netboot/diskless1";
                }
        }
}

and the pxelinux.cfg file

DEFAULT bzImage
APPEND ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.5:/netboot/diskless1

also i'm using atftpd and i started it like this

atftpd --daemon --logfile /var/log/atftpd.log --user nobody.nobody /netboot

notice anything wrong? i've been trying to figure out whats wrong for the past few days but everything looks fine to me.
