tftp server failed

[hunter123]

falko, I've just done about everything i can be told to do... Had a linux system admin walk me through it today and after 4 hours still couldn't find the problem. when I do tftp -v localhost -c get test, I get

[root@localhost ~]# tftp -v localhost -c get test
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1), port 69
getting from localhost.localdomain:test to test [netascii]
Transfer timed out.
[root@localhost ~]#


And my system logs say

Jul 9 07:53:51 localhost xinetd[9350]: FAIL: tftp address from=127.0.0.1
Jul 9 07:53:51 localhost xinetd[9175]: START: tftp pid=9350 from=127.0.0.1
Jul 9 07:53:51 localhost xinetd[9175]: EXIT: tftp status=0 pid=9350 duration=0(sec)

So i've edited just about everything and anything I can do. BTW your message before didnt do anything and the system admin told me to change it back to udp. Here's what my tftp file looks like

service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot -vv
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}

Any help?

So Falko here's an update ive made a little but of progress. The Tftp server finally works but this time when i run si_mkbootserver instead of in the system logs saying that the connection was refused it now says

Jul 10 01:45:41 localhost xinetd[4672]: xinetd Version 2.3.14 started with libwrap loadavg labeled-networking options compiled in.
Jul 10 01:45:41 localhost xinetd[4672]: Started working: 1 available service
Jul 10 01:45:41 localhost in.tftpd[4682]: RRQ from 127.0.0.1 filename test9

for anyone who has this problem... I thought it's been solved however its the same thing again... the problem ive found out is that the script is making the file in tftpboot and tftping it to a local folder. Then its checking to see if the file it created is the same as the one in the local folder and its returning that its not.... maybe i should just remove the check, because i currently already know that the tftp works...
