Hi, I just discovered this post as I was trying to create a TFTP server with SXCE b_111 in my laptop so that I can backup Cisco IOS equipment on the 'go' so to speak.
I managed to get the server configured using this post: http://default-information.blogspot.com/2007/12/opensolaris-tftp-server.html and had permission problems also! Everything was publicly readable and writable using chmod 666, however still I got authentication errors from the IOS router. The only thing that got me round this was to change permissions to 777 or rwx for user, group, and other. Why does Solaris handle things this way it seems a bit tedious and laborious to have to first create the file in the /tftp dir then give it wrx permissions then initiate the copy procedure!!!! I can honestly say that I don't get it, coming over from Linux all that needs to be done is that the /tftp dir have 777 or wrx permissions throughout coupled together with putting: in.tftp: {ip_address or network_address+subnet} line into /etc/hosts.allowed which is the ACL for a range of processes including NFS. Is there any meaning to the Solaris way or just different ideas but a different group of software designers? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
