[edit] 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.

[edit] Requires

• smeserver >= 7.0
• atftp-server >= 0.7-3

[edit] 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

[edit] 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

[edit] 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

[edit] Source

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

[edit] dag Repository

The following command will configure the dag repository on SME Server.

/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set dag repository \
Name 'Dag - EL4' \
BaseURL 'http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag' \
EnableGroups no \
GPGCheck yes \
GPGKey http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt \
Visible no \
Exclude freetype,htop,iptraf,rsync,syslinux \
status disabled

After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:

expand-template /etc/yum.conf
