Hi
I have checked the /etc/bootptab file and is correct.
I have checked the /tftpboot and is correct.
I have rechecked the network used by the client and is correctly defined.
Everything is exported properly. I have done another installation to another client in the same subnet of the nim master and it works well.
The client has all the resources allocated to be installed.
Cstate = BOS installation has been enabled
prev_state = ready for a NIM operation
I have put the tftpd on verbose mode and have this on syslog.log:
Jun 30 08:10:33 myservernim daemon:info tftpd[4694168]: [00000108] EZZ7044I : mytestmachine RRQ <file=Received , mode=/tftpboot/mytestmachine.info, recognized options: octet>
Jun 30 08:10:33 myservernim daemon:info tftpd[4694168]: [00000108] EZZ7029I : Status Read request for mytestmachine : /tftpboot/mytestmachine .info
Jun 30 08:10:39 myservernim daemon:err|error tftpd[4694168]: [00000206] EZZ7039I : Status Timeout
The status Timeout of the tftpd could be generated by a firewall ?
Any idea ?
thanks in advance
Cheers
Al.

fwb_ipfw
fwb_ipfw(1) Firewall Builder fwb_ipfw(1)
NAME
fwb_ipfw - Policy compiler for ipfw
SYNOPSIS
fwb_ipfw [-vVx] [-d wdir] [-o output.fw] [-i] -f data_file.xml object_name
DESCRIPTION
fwb_ipfw is a firewall policy compiler component of Firewall Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). This compiler generates code for ipfw - a firewall
and traffic shaper in FreeBSD (see ipfw(8)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall description from the data file specified with
"-f" option and generates firewall configuration and activation script.
The generated file has a name that starts with the name of the firewall object, with an extension ".fw". It is a shell script that flushes
current policy, then loads new filter and nat rules.
The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.
OPTIONS
-f FILE
Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
-o output.fw
Specify output file name
-d wdir
Specify working directory. Compiler creates firewall activation script in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then all
files will be placed in the current working directory.
-v Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.
-V Print version number and quit.
-i When this option is present, the last argument on the command line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name
-x Generate debugging information while working. This option is intended for debugging only and may produce lots of cryptic messages.
NOTES
Support for ipfw was added in version 1.0.10 of Firewall Builder
