Linux tips : tftpd

When you are trying to analyze/debug tftpd service on your linux boot server , you expect tftpd to return more debug information on the logs. To setup tftp in debug mode, use -v option in “server_args”. As many as “-v” option you use , more debug log information you get. Try it.

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