I'm having a problem with tftpd.. and am wondering what i can do to fix
things.. I have the problem after my workstations request an IP address from
my dhcp server..
Here's what I get wehn I try and boot a system...
.....
MAC address = 00:50:04:9D:6B:E7
Connectors present : 10Base-T / 100Base-TX.
Searching for server (DHCP) ...
Me : 192.168.0.35 , Server 192.168.0.1 , Gateway 192.168.0.161
Loading 192.168.0.1:/tftpboot/kernel <sleep>
<sleep>
<sleep>
...
...
...
...
...
etc etc etc..
in between the first few sleeps i notice it's got these symbols spinning
to look like it's thinking : / \ -
here's my dhcpd.conf file :
### Example dhcpd.conf file for a Class C subnet 192.168.0.0
###
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
### --- default gateway
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.161;
option domain-name "insight.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
host s35 {
hardware ethernet 00:50:04:9D:6B:E7;
fixed-address 192.168.0.35;
}
host s11 {
hardware ethernet 00:10:4B:CA:69:C8;
fixed-address 192.168.0.11;
}
}
1. Linux distribution is Linux Mandrake V8.1
2. I installed the rpm: "tftp server" which i installed with the Package
manager that comes with KDE..
3. the server is started with Xinetd.. Below is the entry in Xinetd.d in
the tftp file. it's loaded into xinetd.conf :
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer
\
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware
printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
}
4. I dont know if there are tcp wrappers on it .. how can I find this out??
5. The following is the output I get to /var/log/messages when I try and
start a station with etherboot and it sleeps when loading the kernel.. this
is what's written to the messages file :
Feb 20 09:19:26 MISERVER dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:50:04:9d:6b:e7 via eth0
Feb 20 09:19:26 MISERVER dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.0.35 to

Feb 20 09:19:26 MISERVER dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.0.35 to 00:50:04:9d:6b:e7
via eth0
no other messages appear after this...
Anything else I can try?? anyone know how I can fix it??
