Problem solved http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/HOWTO_Net_Boot_with_SystemImager_3.4.1 Hi, I'm stuck on this one error for the last 6 hours and I desperately need help. Help please! I've found one other thread and there was no solution posted. Here's what everything looks like [[root@localhost ~]# 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 { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot -r blksize disable = no } [root@localhost ~]# si_mkbootserver WARNING: this script may modify the following files: --> /etc/services --> /etc/inetd.conf --> /etc/xinetd.d/tftp And can restart inetd, xinetd or tftp servers.

[root@localhost ~]# So that's what's going on so far i've heard some things saying that its bugged and you have to hack it a bit. Please i'm lost!
help i was told to start tftp manually and go through and make sure tftp was working but i think that there;s a bug with systemimager. Can someone help me ?
i did start xinetd heres the output Code: [root@localhost ~]# netstat -tap Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:rsync *:* LISTEN 5362/rsync tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 1714/rpcbind tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 2069/vsftpd tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 2050/sshd tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:ipp *:* LISTEN 2140/cupsd tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:smtp *:* LISTEN 2089/sendmail: acce tcp 0 0 *:36510 *:* LISTEN 1733/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 10.0.0.63:60002 www.howtoforge.com:http TIME_WAIT - tcp 0 0 10.0.0.63:54781 204.2.241.160:http ESTABLISHED 7461/firefox tcp 0 0 10.0.0.63:38865 od-in-f164.google.com:http ESTABLISHED 7461/firefox tcp 0 0 10.0.0.63:37790 208.46.17.24:http ESTABLISHED 7461/firefox tcp 0 0 10.0.0.63:49392 kubrick.freenode.net:ircd ESTABLISHED 2866/xchat tcp 0 0 10.0.0.63:48991 204.2.241.146:http ESTABLISHED 7461/firefox tcp 0 0 10.0.0.63:59760 prodwebmail-mtc04.evip:http ESTABLISHED 7461/firefox tcp 0 0 *:rsync *:* LISTEN 5362/rsync tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 2050/sshd [root@localhost ~]#

right now im trying to get the tftp server to connect to the localhost. I've done chkconfig tftp on ; service xinetd start ; cp /etc/services /var/lib/tftpboot ; cd /tmp ; tftp localhost ; get services and it's timing out! so anyways i need some help ive disabled the firewall using /etc/init.d/iptables stop and setenforce0 to no avail please help!
falko, I've just done about everything i can be told to do... Had a linux system admin walk me through it today and after 4 hours still couldn't find the problem. when I do tftp -v localhost -c get test, I get [root@localhost ~]# tftp -v localhost -c get test Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1), port 69 getting from localhost.localdomain:test to test [netascii] Transfer timed out. [root@localhost ~]# And my system logs say Jul 9 07:53:51 localhost xinetd[9350]: FAIL: tftp address from=127.0.0.1 Jul 9 07:53:51 localhost xinetd[9175]: START: tftp pid=9350 from=127.0.0.1 Jul 9 07:53:51 localhost xinetd[9175]: EXIT: tftp status=0 pid=9350 duration=0(sec) So i've edited just about everything and anything I can do. BTW your message before didnt do anything and the system admin told me to change it back to udp. Here's what my tftp file looks like service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot -vv disable = no per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 } Any help?
So Falko here's an update ive made a little but of progress. The Tftp server finally works but this time when i run si_mkbootserver instead of in the system logs saying that the connection was refused it now says Code: Jul 10 01:45:41 localhost xinetd[4672]: xinetd Version 2.3.14 started with libwrap loadavg labeled-networking options compiled in. Jul 10 01:45:41 localhost xinetd[4672]: Started working: 1 available service Jul 10 01:45:41 localhost in.tftpd[4682]: RRQ from 127.0.0.1 filename test9
ok so falko heres probably my last post about this and it includes all the data ull probably need Code: [root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/iptables stop [root@localhost ~]# setenforce 0 setenforce: SELinux is disabled [root@localhost ~]# tftp -v localhost -c get test Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1), port 69 getting from localhost.localdomain:test to test [netascii] ^Z [1]+ Stopped tftp -v localhost -c get test [root@localhost ~]# nano /etc/xinetd.d/tftp [root@localhost ~]# tftp -v localhost -c get test Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1), port 69 getting from localhost.localdomain:test to test [netascii] ^Z [2]+ Stopped tftp -v localhost -c get test [root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/xinetd reload Reloading configuration: [ OK ] [root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/xinetd restart Stopping xinetd: [ OK ] Starting xinetd: [ OK ] [root@localhost ~]# tftp -v localhost -c get test Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1), port 69 getting from localhost.localdomain:test to test [netascii] [root@localhost ~]# si_mkbootserver WARNING: this script may modify the following files: --> /etc/services --> /etc/inetd.conf --> /etc/xinetd.d/tftp And can restart inetd, xinetd or tftp servers.

for anyone who has this problem... I thought it's been solved however its the same thing again... the problem ive found out is that the script is making the file in tftpboot and tftping it to a local folder. Then its checking to see if the file it created is the same as the one in the local folder and its returning that its not.... maybe i should just remove the check, because i currently already know that the tftp works...
