Strange fault with tftp on Solaris 10. Originally
set up for an install server a couple of years
ago, which did work. Added case for a Sun 4C
machine, Solaris 2.6 install.
The files and setup seem ok, and the tftp.udp6 svc
starts up and comes online. As soon as the client is
pointed at it, it transitions to maintenance mode.
Here's some log info
* inetadm says:
enabled maintenance svc:/network/tftp/udp6:default
* /var/adm/messages says:
"inetd[311]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] The inetd_start
method of instance svc:/network/tftp/udp6:default
isn't a regular file".
?????
tftp boot dir is at: /export/tftpboot and this
is known working for the original clients.
Startup line in /etc/inet/inetd.conf has been
updated to reflect that.
Ip address for client is at 192.9.200.21
* /export/tftpboot line for host says:
C009C815 -> inetboot.SUN.4-75-solaris.26
points to:
173280 Jul 16 1997 inetboot.SUN.4-75-solaris.26
* /etc/hosts entry:
192.9.200.21 ss2sol26
* /etc/ethers entry:
08:00:20:c0:11:07 ss2sol26
* tcpdump ether host 08:00:20:c0:11:07 (trimmed date & time)

Wonder if anyone else has seen this ?. Can't find any into on how
tftp is initialised, under the hood, cryptic error message...

What does the XML show ?
vccfg -s /network/tftp/udp6 listprop | grep start
general/restarter fmri svc:/network/inetd:default
inetd_start method
inetd_start/group astring root
inetd_start/timeout_seconds count 0
inetd_start/type astring method
inetd_start/use_profile boolean false
inetd_start/user astring root
inetd_start/exec astring "/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /etc/netboot"
(This is from S11, not got a S10 example at the moment)
