Hi,
I am having some problem setting up the tftp server. I am using Red Hat 6.2.
This is quite old. It would not surprise me if no one here is using such an old version of Red Hat, so you may not be able to get version-specific help. The ramainder of my comments assume this version is reasonably standard Linux.
I have uncommented the "tftp" line in the inetd.conf file in
"/etc". but the tftpd daemon did not get started.
inetd.conf does not start daemons; it tells inetd to listen on ports, starting the relevant daemon only when a connection is received. Also, after editing inetd.conf, you need to restart or re-HUP inetd, to get it to read and act on the revised file.
Finally, the daemon needs to be present on the system; is it? (Apparently yes, from the error you report below, but see my comment with respect to it.)
then i tried executing /usr/sbin/in.ftpd, but got an error
"tftpd[25618]: recvfrom: Socket operation on non-socket"
This is very puzzling, because in.ftpd is not (usually) the name of the tftpd server. (Is this the daemon name that appears on the line in inetd.conf that you uncommented?) Are you sure this message is a response to executing the file you name above?
In any case, how *exactly* did you attempt to run this daemon? (Quote the line.) Is networking set up properly on this host?
