Hi,
I was wondering if I could get some assistance with setting up a tftp server on SME 7. I've tried installing both the tftp and atftp contribs (not at the same time :P ), but I've been unable to get it working. (backing up cisco config to the tftp dir)
If I run "netstat -l -u | grep tftp" I get nothing returned.
If I run " ps -aux" I get "root 2663 0.0 0.0 20 20 ? Ss Nov29 0:09 runsv tftpd"
I also changed the permissions on the tftpboot dir to 777
In /etc/xinetd.d I have two files, "tftp" and "tftp.rpmsave"
The content of both is :
----------------
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
disable =no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
-----------------
I'm not sure what I can do to troubleshoot it, does anyone have any ideas?
Much appreciated,
Josh

Did you follow this Howto http://wiki.contribs.org/Tftp_server ?
I have a TFTP server running just following it.
Right now I´m without external access to my server ... so I cannot copy info to you... but I can post any info you need... if we start from begining following same install instructions!
-
I believe I followed them exactly, but I'll uninstall the contrib and start again...
I'm not using it for PXE, so I tried it without the Thin Client contrib at first, then installed it as well just in case...
1. I ran "yum --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=base install smeserver-tftp-server"
2. I ran signal-event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot
3. I ran config setprop tftpd status enabled to make sure the tftp service was enabled
4. I ran /etc/init.d/supervise/tftpd restart for good measure, and it says restarting tftp [ok]
5. I changed the following properties:
config setprop tftpd access public
config setprop tftpd privelege rw
But I cannot get tftp read or write access

What your answer to:
service tftpd status
I got:
[root@lobo ~]# service tftpd status
run: /service/tftpd: (pid 10248) 125693s; run: log: (pid 2881) 126497s
[root@lobo ~]#
maybe you just need:
service tftpd start
I'm not sure you can see it at netstat... try:
ps gaux |grep tftto see something like:
[root@lobo ~]# ps gaux |grep tft
root 2860 0.0 0.0 20 20 ? Ss Nov29 0:00 runsv tftpd
[root@lobo ~]#
Hope this helps... if not... I'm here in Brazil ... so my time is GMT-0200 (summer time... used to be GMT-0300)

When I ran "service tftp status" I got
down: /service/tftpd: 1s, normally up, want up; down: log: 50023s, normally up
so I ran "service tftpd start"
Then ran "service tftpd status" and got
run: /service/tftpd: (pid 13158) 1s; down: log: 1s, normally up, want up
I appreciate the help, I'm in Australia, GMT +10

Please verify (and if necessary post here) your logs... there are a reason why your TFTP is not up!
Please, after you/we solve your problem:
1) change subject line to [Solved]
2) explain here what you did... so next one can have a clue about this.
Thanks

from /etc/xinetd.d/tftp I changed
server_args = -s /tftpboot
to
server_args = -c -s /tftpboot
The services starts
ok, looking through the logs says:
2009-12-02 18:56:50.058478500 udpsvd: fatal: unable to look up local hostname: network unreachable
2009-12-02 19:02:37.133861500 udpsvd: info: listening on 0.0.0.0:69, uid 0, gid 0, starting.
2009-12-02 19:15:53.559294500 udpsvd: info: pid 10797 from 192.168.1.2

2009-12-02 19:15:53.565470500 udpsvd: info: end 10797

The service is now running, but along with the other errors I'm now getting
2009-12-03 22:56:34.627383500 udpsvd: drop: unable to read from socket: temporary failure
2009-12-03 22:56:34.627391500 udpsvd: info: end 16327
and I'm still unable to use tftp
any ideas?
Thanks again,
Josh

So far I know you shouldn´t have to change a option (add -c) to get it working.
I think you should step back and fix it using logs.

When I ran "service tftp status" I got
down: /service/tftpd: 1s, normally up, want up; down: log: 50023s, normally up
so I ran "service tftpd start"
Then ran "service tftpd status" and got
run: /service/tftpd: (pid 13158) 1s; down: log: 1s, normally up, want up
To diagnose such problems, do:
cd /service/tftpd
sv d .
./run
# read error messages here
^C
sv u .

You are running a supervised instance of udpsvd as well as trying to start tftpd via xinetd. You need to do one or the other, not both.
I suggest that you remove xinetd and the xinetd configuration.
-
When I run those commands I get:
udpsvd: info: listening on 0.0.0.0:69, uid 99, gid 99, starting.
after I hit ^C
[1]+ Stopped ./run

I don't know how to change that sorry?
