Re: [masq] [masq] Allowing diskless X stations to boot via BOOTP -through- as MASQ box

 howth.physics.buffalo.edu  cosmo.physics.buffalo.edu: icmp:
 howth.physics.buffalo.edu udp port xdmcp unreachable [tos 0xc0]
 
 Hmmm.. it seems as if this port is blocked.  From the Iana,
 xdmcp are at:
 
   xdmcp   177/tcpX Display Manager Control Protocol  
   xdmcp   177/udpX Display Manager Control Protocol 
 
 Are you filtering this on the IPFWADM/IPCHAINS rulesets?
 Are you getting logs of any firewall errors?

In syslog, there is this strange error message:

howth inetd[57]: /usr/sbin/nmbd: exit status 0x01

I don't have a program with that name. I checked and it seems that this has
something to do with samba. How come the linux box is trying to start it?
Otherwise I couldn't find any error messages that would hint towards firewall
errors or anything of that kind.

[masq] Allowing diskless X stations to boot via BOOTP -through- as MASQ box

[Nicolas Bock]

Sorry for the delay, but I couldn't get to trying this out before I
managed, using the NCD-X-Terminal mini-howto, to get the NCD to load the
kernel file (I guess that's what you would call it, it's the first file that's
loaded). It then reads the config file which also works. Now it wants a file
called rgb.txt, which it can't find. Here are my bootptab:

allhost:hd=/tftpboot:bf=null:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:gw=192.168.1.1:\
:ts=192.168.1.1:\
:lp=192.168.1.1:\
:to=-7200:
cosmo:ht=ethernet:\
  :ha=0xa7015495:\
  :ip=192.168.1.2:\
  :tc=allhost:\
  :bf=80CD1118:


and my inetd.conf:

tftpdgram   udp waitnobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.tftpd/tftpboot
bootps  dgram   udp waitroot/usr/sbin/bootpdbootpd


It always tries to look for that file in /usr/lib/X11/ncd and I don't seem to
be able to tell it to look somewhere else. I even created a directory like
that but it seems that the NCD can't see it.

Does anyone know how to proceed from here?

P.S.: Masquerading is switched off for now, I am booting from the linux box.
