3.5.1 Setting up the tftp process

General prerequisites:

D The local address of the RS2-4R and the IP address of the tftp servers or

the gateway are known to the

RS2-4R.

D The TCP/IP stack with tftp is installed on tftp server.

The following sections contain information on setting up the tftp process,

arranged according to operating system and application.

U SunOS and HP

V First check whether the tftp daemon (background process) is running,

i.e. whether the file /etc/inetd.conf contains the following line

(see fig.

16) and whether the status of this process is "IW":

SunOS

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd

-s /tftpboot

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd tftpd

If the process is not in the file, or if the related line is commented out

(#), modify /etc/inetd.conf accordingly and then re-initialize the INET

daemon. This is done with the command "kill -1 PID", where PID is

the process ID of inetd.

This re-initialization can be executed automatically by inputting the

following UNIX commands:

SunOS

ps -ax | grep inetd | head -1 | awk -e {print $1} |

kill -1

/etc/inetd -c
