I just completed a (2) fresh install of cobbler for the first time. One at my
home network on EL6.2 and one at work on RHEL5.7. So far the only issue I ran
into was with the arguments that were being placed in the tftpd configuration
for xinetd by cobbler sync on 6.2.
On the Centos 6.2 Server with atftp-server as the tftp server the -s argument
that was being written was causing TFTP connections to timeout. In
/var/log/messages the tftp daemon was exiting immediately with status=1
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/modules/manage_in_tftpd.py
In line 128
def write_tftpd_files(self):
metadata = {
"user" : "root",
"binary" : "/usr/sbin/in.tftpd",
--> "args" : "-v -s %s" % self.bootloc
I had to remove the "-s" from the argument list (restart and sync) before atftp
would function. Would it be possible to move those arguments (except for
bootloc of course) to the /etc/cobbler/tftpd.template instead of the
manage_in_tftpd.py file? Or include a check for the tftp daemon running and
remove the -s if the /usr/sbin/in.tftpd daemon is a symlink to atftpd?
Just starting to move my kickstart files to live within the model cobbler uses
but so far a very positive experience.
