3.7.2 Setting up the TFTP Daemon
For the BOOTP server to download the settings to the print server,
TFTP must be enabled.
TFTP in AIX Environment
The TFTP daemon is normally managed by the INETD super-daemon.
The INETD starts a TFTPD when a request is received. The TFTPD
satisfies the request and then dies. You need to configure INETD so that
it performs this service. This can be done in the following way using the
SMIT command (System Management Interface Tool):
NOTE: It can only be done with superuser a uthority (i.e. use the su
command to switch to root user).
1. Type SMIT.
2. Select the following items in order to configure the TFTP daemon.
- Communications Applications and Services
- TCP/IP
- Further Configuration
- Server Network Services
- Other Available Services
- Super Daemon (INETD)
- INETD Subservers
- Add an INETD Subserver
3. When the menu “Available Subservers” appears, use the “LIST”
function .
NOTE: The TFTPD will only be on the list if not already created.
You can also check /etc/inetd.conf to see whether the tftpd line is
commented out. But you should use SMIT to update inetd.conf for
TFTPD. Do not update /etc/inetd.conf manually for TFTPD as you would
for the BOOTPD.
SMIT does not allow you to place the BOOTPD under INETD. The
/etc/inetd.conf file must be updated manually for the BOOTPD.
You should ensure that there is no /etc/tftpaccess.cfg file. It can be used
to control access to files by remote TFTP users.
