Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users SPARCstation is broadcasting as boot server Post 52576 by rhfrommn on Tuesday 22nd of June 2004 10:33:14 AM

I recently had to turn off some boot servers on more recent versions of solaris. I expect this would be the same for you, but you may need to look at some man pages to verify that on your older version.

The things I did were:

1. Comment out the tftp line from /etc/inetd.conf. This prevents it from accepting tftp connections after you boot it.

2. Kill the rpc.bootparamd process and the in.rarpd process.

3. Delete the file /etc/bootparams.

4. If it is there, delete the file /etc/ethers.

5. Remove the /tftpboot directory

Those did the job for me, but like I said you might want to check manpages on all those things to verify that is exactly the same for your situation.

NAME
isibootd -- TRFS based network boot server SYNOPSIS
isibootd [-d tracelevel] [-i interface] [-s directory] DESCRIPTION
The isibootd command is a server which supports OMRON LUNA's network boot protocol based on the Transparent Remote File System (TRFS) proto- col. The TRFS protocol uses special Ethernet type packets and works within a local network. isibootd is a simple TRFS server that only supports client reads for booting and exports files in a specified directory. isibootd accepts requests only from clients listed in the /etc/ethers and have valid hostnames. The options are as follows: -d tracelevel Run isibootd in debug mode with specified tracelevel. The tracelevel can be value 1, 2, or 3, and greater tracelevel provides more detailed trace output. The server will not fork in the debug mode. -i interface Specify a network interface to service network boot. If not specified isibootd searches available network interfaces (excluding loopback) and use the first configured ``up'' one. -s directory Specify a directory containing boot files to be served by isibootd. If not specified isibootd uses /tftpboot by default. FILES
/etc/ethers /etc/hosts /tftpboot /var/run/isibootd.pid SEE ALSO
ethers(5), hosts(5), tftpd(8) http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/luna68k/install.html HISTORY
isibootd is based on isiboot utility which was originally written by Tohru Nishimura for NetBSD/luna68k development, and first appeared in NetBSD 6.0. BSD
