tftp

[tigm7103105q1]

Hi!, I need help.

I have HP9000-K460 with HPUX10.20 in ServiceGuard. I want to start tftp service, but I get follow message when I run tftp:

"tftp: udp/tftp: unknown servicetftp:"

I 've configured the service tftp in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, but I don't see output when I run netstat -a command.

I hope to can help me. Thak's.

Are you sure the services entry is correct. What is the output of `grep tftp /etc/services`?

Also, if you are using NIS, the local services file will have no effect. You'll need to add the entry to the NIS master.

Finally, make sure tftp is enabled in /etc/inetd.conf and if needed issue :

# inetd -c

To get the new service recognized.

HTH.

One important thing to remember is to have a tftp user in /etc/passwd file. If you don't have that, tftpd will get root access to the directories specified in inetd.conf file.

I would say the best option is to create tftp with SAM - Networking and Communications - Networking services. It will add the necessary configs to the system.
