RE: Indy tftp install problem
This morning I
1) booted up 'chupacabras' (192.168.1.3), my dhcp and tftp server
2) echo'd the appropriate strings to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/<files> to obtain
the cat's of my previous post
3) booted the Indy into maintenance
4) issued the command bootp():
and obtained a different /var/log/daemon.log. This time, connections were
repeatedly refused by tftpd:
Jun 11 10:15:40 localhost in.tftpd[7744]: connect from ::ffff:192.168.1.197
(::ffff:192.168.1.197)
Jun 11 10:15:40 localhost tftpd[7745]: tftpd: trying to get file:
/tftpboot/netboot-boot.img
Jun 11 10:15:40 localhost tftpd[7745]: tftpd: read: Connection refused
I thought I had this covered : /etc/hosts.allow contained ALL: ALL
Getting bloody-minded, I deleted /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to
disable access control.
Still 'bootp():' produced logs of 'read: Connection refused'.
So I installed ethereal and sniffed the tftp request packet:
Source 192.168.1.197
Destination 192.168.1.3
Protocol TFTP
and saw [Malformed Packet: TFTP]
Fed up with the terse logging of tftpd, I installed atftpd. After the
successful DHCP exchange as before, this daemon logs:
Jun 11 10:30:52 localhost atftpd[7832]: connect: Address family not
supported by protocol
Jun 11 10:31:21 localhost atftpd[7832]: connect: Address family not
supported by protocol
Jun 11 10:32:21 localhost last message repeated 2 times
Jun 11 10:37:21 localhost atftpd[7832]: atftpd terminating after 300 seconds
Jun 11 10:37:21 localhost atftpd[7832]: Main thread exiting
Does this give anyone any insight ?
