Atftp server
Maintainer

Current vesrion: 1.0-1
Description
This contribution adds a tftp server (atftp-server) to your smeserver (primarily used by workstations that are using the pxeboot protocol to retrieve boot images and parameters from the server).
It was produced to support my smeserver-thinclient contrib, but can be used independently.
I also have a sister contrib that uses tftp-server, if you prefer that server. It works the same as this one and is interchangeable.
Requires
- smeserver >= 7.0
- atftp-server >= 0.7-3
Installation
This contrib is currently held in the smedev repository (I will try to move it into smeextras or smeaddons), so the following commands will install on your smeserver. atftp-server is currently available in the dag repository.
yum --enablerepo=smedev --enablerepo=dag install smeserver-atftp-server
Officially you should then need to activate the database changes etc., but this is not required for this package.
signal-event post-upgrade signal-event reboot
The tftpd status is controlled via the Thin Clients server-manager panel if you have installed my smeserver-thinclient contrib.
If you haven't, you'll need to enable the atftp server and expand all the templates etc.
config setprop tftpd status enabled signal-event tftpd-conf
If for any reason the atftp server isn't running, try:
/etc/init.d/supervise/tftpd restart
Defaults
You shouldn't need to play with any parameters (except status). The defaults and allowed values are listed below.
| <prop> | default <value> | allowed Values | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| status | disabled | enabled/disabled | |
| access | private | private/public/localhost | private = internal interface ONLY
public = all interfaces localhost = localhost ONLY disabled = none |
| user | root | root/nobody | should default to nobody, but this doesn't work |
| timeout | default | default/300 | default = 900 seconds (15 minutes) |
| UDPPort | 69 | any port | |
| directory | /tftpboot | any directory |
These settings can be set/changed via
config setprop tftpd <prop> <value> signal-event tftpd-conf
Uninstall
yum remove smeserver-atftp-server atftp-server
Everything should be turned off, but if not, or you just want to make sure
/etc/init.d/supervise/tftpd stop
An error saying that /etc/init.d/supervise/tftpd does not exist should be returned
Source
The source for this contrib can be found in the smeserver CVS on sourceforge.

dag Repository
The following command will configure the dag repository on SME Server. EDIT NOT COMPLETE!
To create an entry in the database for the epel repository we open put the following commands in a terminal
window or in a shell window:
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set epel repository \
Name 'SME Server - epel' \ BaseURL 'http://<http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch' \ EnableGroups yes \ GPGCheck yes \ Visible no \ status disabled
To enable the changes:
signal-event yum-modify
Just to be sure, give yum a fresh start:
yum clean all
After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:
signal-event yum-modify
