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

The source for this contrib can be found in the smeserver CVS on sourceforge.
