tftp config for xinetd broken

There is no protocol line, should be udp
the orig tries to log the username.  Username with tftp?
 
NOTE: tftp put does work! 



This works:
[chrismcc@wednesday chrismcc]$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 
# 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
	wait			= yes
	protocol		= udp
	user			= root
	server			= /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
	server_args		= -s /tftpboot
}

Comment 1 Pekka Savola 2001-02-07 11:45:29 EST

dgram socket type defaults to udp.  The default configuration works for me in a normal setup.

However, on one box where I have IPv6 activated, running xinetd will make tftpd die of 
errno 93 (Protocol not supported) unless udp has been defined.

Good point about user name logging.

Comment 2 chrismcc 2001-02-07 12:28:34 EST

I don't have ipv6 setup; unless something sets up something on install (clean)
Oops, 'wait' should be yes, not no



Feb  7 06:39:03 wednesday xinetd[17781]: socket creation failed (Protocol not
supported (errno = 93)). service = tftp
Feb  7 06:42:32 wednesday xinetd[17862]: socket creation failed (Protocol not
supported (errno = 93)). service = tftp
Feb  7 06:45:51 wednesday xinetd[17889]: tftp service was deactivated because of
looping
Feb  7 14:45:51 wednesday tftpd[17896]: recvfrom: Resource temporarily unavailable



[root@wednesday log]# grep tftp secure  
Feb  7 06:45:51 wednesday xinetd[17889]: START: tftp pid=17895 from=192.168.9.253
...

It would be nice to log the filename accessed and if it was a 'put' or a 'get'.
 But thats an 'enhancement' not a bug :)

Comment 3 Glen Foster 2001-02-08 11:00:35 EST

We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release.

Comment 4 Helge Deller 2001-02-08 12:17:01 EST

I just fixed this, but it will take ~ 1-2 hours until I can put 
tftp-0.17-9.src.rpm through porkchop...
