I've got a little problem :(

I want to set up a TFTP server on a linux RedHat 7.1
but it doesn't work :( can anyone post a little summary
or something about what I have to look at??

that would be really nice!

Hi,

You need to :

(i) install tftp-server rpm (not just tftp - thats only a client)

(ii) activate under xinetd - as root

# /sbin/chkconfig tftp on

(iii) open udp port 69 under the lokkit firewall ...

# /usr/sbin/lokkit

On that last point, I'm not sure if lokkit handles udp ports in its config screens so you might have to disable it altogether or hand edit the config file --> /etc/sysconfig/ipchains .

To stop lokkit temporarily do :

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop

to disable it :

# /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 ipchains off

Hope this helps
