6.4.4Setting Up a tftpboot Server

To set up a tftpboot server, on a SunOS 4.1.x system, perform the following steps:

NOTE: This procedure only has to be done the first time that the switch is turned on and each SCP is upgraded. The next time that the soft- ware is upgraded, put the upgrade file in /tftpboot.

1.In /etc/inetd.conf, uncomment the last line shown below so that the file appears as follows:

#

#Tftp service is provided primarily for booting. Most sites

#run this only on machines acting as “boot servers.”

#Since these can be security holes, they are commented out by default.

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd /tftpboot

2.Add the following line to /etc/services:

tftp69/udp

3.Set up the tftpboot directory with the following command lines:

host: mkdir /tftpboot

host: cp <upgrade-file> /tftpboot

4.At the root level, determine the process number of inetd by entering the following:

host: ps -aux grep inetd

Something similar to the following will be displayed:

root 216 0.0 0.0 48 0 ? IW Jan 27 0:14 inetd

where 216 represents the process number of inetd.

5.Enter the following command to make inetd re-read its configuration file:

host: kill -HUP 216
