Hello!

On a Solaris9 box I have activated following line in inetd.conf

root@serverxxx # more /etc/inetd.conf | grep tft
# TFTPD - tftp server (primarily used for booting)
tftp dgram udp6 wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
root@serverxxx#

I have created following directory:
root@serverxxx # ls -ld /tf*
drwxrwxrwx 2 root other 512 Apr 24 10:53 /tftpboot

And executed a restart of inetd

root@serverxxx # ps -ef | grep inet
root 165 1 0 Feb 01 ? 0:03 /usr/sbin/inetd -s
root 13899 813 0 12:54:37 pts/2 0:00 grep inet
root@serverxxx # kill -HUP 165


........But the in.tftpd is NOT started

the service is only started by inetd if needed. same is with in.ftpd... if no ftp connection is established the in.ftpd is NOT running... have a look with "ps -ef | grep ftpd" with no connection. start a ftp session and look again...

hth,

Thanks, but shouldn't this test work?

root@serverxxx # pwd
/
root@serverxxx # touch kalle
root@serverxxx# tftp localhost
tftp> put kalle
Error code 2: Access violation
tftp>

Specifically, what does "Error code 2: Access violation" mean?
