Saw a similar report in the bug tracker, so there's a chance there's a fix
being worked on:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3505360&group_id=208749&atid=1006945
However after updating to the latest snapshot, the xinetd.d/tftp file is still
being overwritten by AAsn.pm. The version are now:
[root@drdkvm0003 /]# rpm -qa | egrep -i 'atftp|xcat-server'
atftp-server-0.7-6.el6.rf.x86_64
xCAT-server-2.7.3-snap201206110241.noarch
Perhaps the easiest short term fix for me is just to allow AAsn.pm to generate
a non-working xinetd conf file for tftpd, and to start tftp from a separate,
/etc/init.d/tftp init script. I'm a little hesitant to do this because
there's code in AAsn.pm that restarts xinetd, which would result in tftp being
restarted, and if an init script is used to start tftp instead, xcat will not
have control over tftp.
Thanks,
Goran

Subject: xcat - tftp compatibility issue?
I have the following installed on a Linux CentOS 6.2 Management node:
xCAT-server-2.7.1-snap201204060047.noarch
atftp-server-0.7-6.el6.rf.x86_64
Once installed, whenever xcatd is restarted, the following xinetd file is
generated for tftp:
[root@drdkvm0003 xcat]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# default: on
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file
transfer protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless worksta.
service tftp
{
disable = yes
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = apache
group = apache
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot -m /etc/tftpmapfile4xcat.conf
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
However according to the atftpd man page, the server args above won't work.
in order to work with atftp, the following changes are needed:
[root@drdkvm0003 xinetd.d]# diff /tmp/tftp /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
5c5
< disable = yes
---
> disable = no
12c12
< server_args = -s /tftpboot -m /etc/tftpmapfile4xcat.conf
---
> server_args = -v --logfile /var/log/tftpd /tftpboot
The problem is every time xcatd is restarted, /etc/xinetd.d/tftp is overwritten
by: /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/AAsn.pm
I wondering whether I should look for a different version of tftpd, try the
latest xCAT snapshot, or look for a configuration problem? Likely the default
of "disable = yes" is a configuration issue in my db, but the AAsn.pm doesn't
appear to have much wiggle room for different tftpd server_args.
(BTW I tried installing atftp-xcat, but it shows that it's been obsoleted by
xCAT-server.)
Thanks,
Goran
