From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT) Description of problem: the line tftp 69/tcp needs to be removed from /etc/services to use tftp with xinetd Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 2. restart xinetd 3. find this line in /var/log/messages: xinetd[1465]: socket creation failed (Protocol not supported (errno = 93)). service = tftp 4. that's it Actual Results: xinedt wouldn't start tftpd Expected Results: xinedt would start tftpd Additional info:
This is a problem with the xinetd config file for tftp if it doesn't specify the right protocol.
I just verified this with the tftp and xinetd packages of the Roswell Beta and it works out of the box using these commands: rpm -Uvh tftp-0.17-14.i386.rpm tftp-server-0.17-14.i386.rpm chkconfig tftp on service xinetd restart You now need to create the directory /tftpboot and put your files in there. Then doing the following works: tftp localhost tftp> get message Received 23227 bytes in 0.1 seconds So i'd like to ask you to try the latest packages, they work for me. Read ya, Phil
As i haven't received any input in the last 2 months i assume that this is fixed. Read ya, Phil
