[SOLVED] cant start tftp

[jeisma]

hello!

im using atftpd, i cant start the service.

running netstat -anp | grep ":69" returns nothing.

what could be missing on my ubuntu 5.10 system?

i have this line in my /etc/inetd.conf file:

tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --tftpd-timeout 300 --retry-timeout 5 --mcast-port 1758 --mcast-addr 239.239.239.0-255 --mcast-ttl 1 --maxthread 100 --verbose=5 /tftpboot



thanks!

it starts when someone tries to connect to it. thats the way inetd/xinetd works. try telnetting ot the port it runs on, see if you get a connected message

ph34r is right. Basically, you run inetd, and it starts any needed service(ftp, ssh, telnet, etc.) whenever the connection comes in.
