Tftp server
smeserver-tftp-server
Maintainer
Description
This contribution adds a tftp 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.
Requires
smeserver >= 7.0 tftp-server => 0.39
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.
yum --enablerepo=smedev install smeserver-tftp-server
or if you don't have the Centos base repository enabled
yum --enablerepo=smedev --enablerepo=base install smeserver-tftp-server
You will then need to activate the database changes etc. The 'official' way is to perform (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 tftp server and expand all the templates etc.
config setprop tftpd status enabled signal-event tftpd-conf
If for any reason the tftp server isn't running, try:
/etc/rc.d/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 |
|---|---|---|
| status | disabled | enabled/disabled |
| access | private | private/public/localhost |
| log | normal | normal/verbose/disabled |
| user | root | root/nobody |
| privelege | ro | ro/rw |
| timeout | default | default/300 |
| 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-tftp-server tftp-server
Everything should be turned off, but if not, or you just want to make sure
/etc/init.d/tftpd stop
An error saying that /etc/init.d/tftpd does not exist should be returned
