Hi,
 I have installed RedHat 7.2 and have updated /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file. The
file looks like this:

# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer
\
#       protocol.  The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
#       workstations, download configuration files to network-aware
printers, \
#       and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes 
        user                    = root
        port                    = 69
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = -s /tftpboot
        disable                 = no
}



What I observe is that tftp server works locally but when I try to use it
remotely, it fails.
This is the error message that I get when I run "xinetd -d"

Service configuration: sgi_fam
        id = sgi_fam
        type = RPC UNLISTED

        Groups = 0
        Bind = 248.254.8.8
        Server = /usr/bin/fam
        Server argv = fam

Has anyone encountered this problem with RedHat 7.2? With RedHat 6.2 , I got
my TFTP server working.
Please let me know what is the workaround to get past this problem.

Thanks,
Ranjeeta
