Tftp server
smeserver-tftp-server
Maintainer: Trevor Batley
Description
This contribution adds a tftp server (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 held in the smecontribs repository, so the following commands will install on your smeserver.
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-tftp-server
Note: this will download and install the latest tftp-server from the Centos base repository, so if you don't have that repository ebnabled, please use the following command
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=base install smeserver-tftp-server
Officially you should then need to apply the database changes etc. Whilst this is not required to be able to run the tftp server straight away, it will be required at some stage, and the server manager will remind you to, until you do.
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
config setprop tftpd status enabled signal-event tftpd-conf
If for any reason the tftp server isn't running, try:
service tftpd restart
