Nice one. I discovered a Win tftp prog called tftp32 from here: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ while trying out yours. Merci bien, MasterSleepy.

Well...tried to get it working on 6.01 and ran into some issues, first it seems that the rpm's found on vanhees.cc are corrupt?
Next, I wanted the tftpboot directory to be an ibay, so images, ios etc. can easily be transferred to the server. Further more this howto states that the xinetd config is stored in /etc/xinet.d. In fact the config file for xinetd in 6.01 is /etc/xinetd.conf.
So in short this is what I've changed to get it working:

STEP 2: Create storage directory

Create the storage ibay through the server manager:

Information bay name     tftpboot
Description       tftp share
Group          everyone
User access via file sharing or user ftp    write=group read=everyone   
    
Add a user for tftpd who has read/write rights to the tftpboot ibay (server manager):

Account name     tftp
First name    tf
Last name    tp

Login to the console

STEP 3: Change xinet.d parameter via the templates

# pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/xinetd.conf/40tftpd

add the following lines

{
    $OUT .= "service tftpd\n";
    $OUT .= "{\n";
    $OUT .= "    disable                        = no\n";
    $OUT .= "    socket_type                    = dgram\n";
    $OUT .= "    protocol                       = udp\n";
    $OUT .= "    wait                   = yes\n";
    $OUT .= "    user                   = root\n";
    $OUT .= "    server                 = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd\n";
    $OUT .= "    server_args                    = -v -c -u tftp -s /home/e-smith/files/ibays/tftpboot/files\n";
    $OUT .= "    per_source                     = 11\n";
    $OUT .= "    cps                            = 100 2\n";
    $OUT .= "}";
}

Rebuild the template:
# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/xinetd.conf

STEP 4:  Adjust services

# pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/services/40tftpd

add the following line:

tftpd           69/udp                          #tftpd

Rebuild the template:
# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/services


STEP 5:  Restart Xinetd

# service xinetd restart

STEP 5: Create template for hosts.allow

# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow
# pico -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow/tftp

in.tftpd: ALL

Rebuild the template

# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/hosts.allow

That's all folks.

Where can we find the un-corrupted tftp rpm ?
