tftp problems with ignite
Hi, I've been getting an intermittent tftp error with my ignite server. Symptoms are when trying to boot itanium client - server times out, and looking in the syslog I see:
tftpd[17697]: chroot: No such file or directory
I have the following entries in /etc/inetd.conf:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
/opt/ignite\
/var/opt/ignite
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/bootpd bootpd
But basically inetd -c doesn't sort it but a reboot does. Same lanboot works fine after a reboot.
Any ideas what could be causing this intermittent problem?
I thought it might be due to tftp user's home dir not existing but - a reboot wouldn't fix that!

Re: tftp problems with ignite
What version of Ignite ?
I have had no current issues lan booting IA clients. I am running C.7.5.142
IA clients use instl_bootd
instl_boots dgram udp wait root /opt/ignite/lbin/instl_bootd instl_bootd

Shalom,
Later versions of tftp in an effort to be more "secure" that being a relative term are sensitive to ownership and permissions.
tftp will only work from the home directory of the tftp user owned by that user.

Re: tftp problems with ignite
Tim, I'm using 7.0.212 which is just what was shipped on my 11i v3 DVDs.
I believe instl_bootd is for anonymous clients - whereas mine are registered so I've stuck to bootpab.
As I said - it works fine most of the time.
Steven, I don't understand how perms on tftp's home directory can be an issue - a reboot wouldn't resolve the issue if that were the case - nor would it be intermittent!
Presumably the inetd.conf entries added during Ignite setup set up tftp access to /var/opt/ignite so that the INDEX file can be picked up. So the home directory doesn't really feature. Perms on /var/opt/ignite are 755 bin:bin.
I will just have to wait until this happens again and then do some more diagnosis. I hadn't really focussed on instl_bootd before so that might be something to investigate? Maybe instl_bootd and bootpd are getting in the way of each other?
