atfptd in squeeze won't do anything

08-23-2011, 03:24 PM

I have been beating my head against the wall on this for a day and a half. I just installed atftpd (0.7.dfsg-9.1) on Squeeze. When I first installed it, it wouldn't take connections through the default inetd stuff. So I tried editing /etc/default/atftpd and setting USE_INETD=false and running it as a daemon. Still nothing. So I tried manually running /usr/sbin/atftpd, and no matter what options I give it (including none) it just prints the usage and exits, unless I specify --daemon and/or --no-fork in which case it just exits with an exit code 0 and there is no process running or anything listening on that port.

Please, any ideas, reports or similar (or even different) behavior, or any thing else would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy. And I can't seem to find any recent howtos on the subject, they all seem to be several years old, or they say basically "apt-get it, and it should work".

Also, I tried getting tftpd-hpa working too with similar problems, but I haven't done as extensive of troubleshooting on that.

Well, I've never used such service but I would:

- Read the docs ("/usr/share/doc/atftpd/"), maybe it requires some tweaks
to put it to work

- Review the logs, once you start the service and try to make a
connection from a client machine

- Look into Debian BTS, maybe there is a bug on that concrete package
that can be hitting you:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=atftpd;dist=unstable

- And finally, google for any recent tutorial/howto on the matter:

http://blog.kymera-it.com/2011/02/setting-up-atftpd-server-on-debian.html

I've only ever used tftp for pxe servers - deprecated with gpxe (http is
much faster and simpler) - if that's what you want to use tftp for
you'll find tftpd-hpa much simpler to configure.

What permissions do you have on the directory being served??

Have you set up:-
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
??

If you can tell me a little more about what you want to use tftp for
more it may be helpful.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm looking to set up a PXE server. The permissions on the directory provided to atftpd are 777 as specified in the usage. I don't see how host.{allow,deny} make any difference with whether or not the server starts. I'll give tftp-hpa a try, and I'll look in to gpxe.

Thanks,
