Atftp server

smeserver-atftp-server

Maintainer: Trevor Batley
Current vesrion: 1.0-1
Note: Not in smedev yet. A case of premature documentation.

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
