[lug] tftp service

[Kris Young]

I am looking for some help on getting tftp service working on my RedHat 7.0
system.
I want to use the tftp service to download/upload router configs.  I have
/tftpboot
set to 777 as well as a file called router1, which is where I want to place
the
router file.

Whenever I try to issue the command "write net" from the router, I receive:

Error code 2: Access violation

I have the default setting for /etc/xinetd.conf:

defaults
{
        instances               = 60
        log_type                = SYSLOG authpriv
        log_on_success          = HOST PID
        log_on_failure          = HOST RECORD
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

In /etc/xinetd.d/tftp I have the following configuration:

# 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
{
        socket_type             = dgram
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = nobody
        log_on_success          += USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = /tftpboot
        disabled                = no
}

After changing "disabled" to no, I restarted xinetd.

I cannot see any daemon for in.tftpd nor any other process with tftp in it.
The xinetd daemon
is running.

Thanks in advance for ANY help you can provide.
