Description Frode Tennebø 2001-12-15 21:21:44 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-13custom i686)

Description of problem:
I believe this is a fault with in.tftp and not with the client. I'm trying
to set up an X-Terminal which receives it's server code from the
tftp-server. Since this does not work I tried the tftp client with various
commands. It appears that I have to either implicit connect on the
command-line (e. #tftp localhost) or explicit (ie. tftp> connect
localhost).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make /tftpboot/some-file
2. Start in.tftpd from xinetd
3. tftp
4. get localhost:/some-file 
	

Actual Results:  [ft@leia ft]$ tftp
tftp> verbose
Verbose mode on.
tftp> get localhost:/hds-fx/config/config.fx
getting from localhost:/hds-fx/config/config.fx to config.fx [netascii]
tftp: sendto: Invalid argument
tftp> get "localhost:/hds-fx/config/config.fx"
tftp: "localhost: Unknown host
tftp> get "localhost":/hds-fx/config/config.fx
tftp: "localhost": Unknown host
tftp> get 127.0.0.1:/hds-fx/config/config.fx
getting from 127.0.0.1:/hds-fx/config/config.fx to config.fx [netascii]
tftp: sendto: Invalid argument
tftp> get 10.0.0.10:/hds-fx/config/config.fx
getting from 10.0.0.10:/hds-fx/config/config.fx to config.fx [netascii]
tftp: sendto: Invalid argument



Expected Results:  tftp> connect 10.0.0.10
tftp> get /hds-fx/config/config.fx
getting from 10.0.0.10:/hds-fx/config/config.fx to config.fx [netascii]
Received 1593 bytes in 0.0 seconds [inf bits/sec]


Additional info:

Since my X-Terminal only supports the implicit form, I'm not able to
continue.

I believe this is a bug in the client. Here's the patch I made:

Comment 2 Frode Tennebø 2001-12-18 22:09:07 UTC

Darn. It solves the bug but in the wrong place. :/ It does not explain why my 
X-terminal won't download from the tftp-server......

Perhaps you can tell me why tftpd won't log anything to syslog? I have the 
following line in /etc/syslog:

authpriv.*                                              /var/log/secure

But the only thing that gets logged is:

Dec 18 23:03:51 leia xinetd[7121]: START: tftp pid=25551 from=10.0.0.10

Comment 3 Frode Tennebø 2001-12-25 23:02:22 UTC

It turned out that one of the ports on my hub was broken. However, I still 
don't get syslog-ed the precompiled tftpd. It works with my own compiled 
version, but that one won't transfer any files. Mighty strange.....I need to 
investigate some more if you don't have any hints....?
