Hi,

I've been attempting to run a TFTP server on the firewall for PXE booting.

Long story short, I've tried every variation on defining a service for TFTP 
that I can think of, however I can not get PXE booting to work. I am able to 
use a tftp client at the command line on another host to copy files from the 
firewall, but actually doing it during a PXE boot causes timeout errors. I've 
used both atftpd and tftpd-hpa. With atftpd, in the syslog, I see that the tftp 
server is receiving some kind of data, however the client never receives the 
files.

The following is the service definition I have used for vuurmuur:

ACTIVE="yes"
UDP="69*69"
BROADCAST="no"
COMMENT="Trivial File Transfer Protocol"
PROTO_41=""
GRE=""
AH=""
ESP=""
ICMP=""
HELPER="tftp"


(I have used many variations of this, with and without the conntrack helper).

Additionally, I have these rules (among others) defined:

RULE="Accept service any from firewall to local.lan"
RULE="Accept service tftp from local.lan to firewall"

What am I doing wrong? I would really like to get my PXE boot environment up 
and running and self-contained on the firewall -- as it is, I am  forced to run 
the tftp server on a separate system which is not ideal. Also if it matters (I 
do not know if it does or not), I am not launching tftp from inetd. Instead I 
am having atftpd run as a standalone daemon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
