How to check tftp server is running?
hce
I've just installed tftp and tftpd package by apt-get. But, I could
not see the tftp server running. Actually, I could not figure out
where is the tftp script. In FC6, the tftp script is in xinit.d. In
Debian, there is not xinit.d.
How can I check whether the tftp server is running or not? And, if
not, which command I can call to run the tftp server?
Thank you.

Indeed, the tftp is in inetd.conf file. But, how can I
run/restart/stop tftp server? Also, how can I check whether the tftp
server is running or not? I checked ps and grep with in.tftpd, but
could not find it.
Thank you Jeff.

that start from inetd only start when a connection from the outside hits
that port. There is no daemon program running when run form inetd. I
am not sure if tftpd is a daemon type server.

probably you should avoid inet.d and just start the service directly.

in debian services are started with an init script stored in
/etc/init.d/ and linked to various runlevels in /etc/rc[S123456].d/
to start the service use either
/etc/init.d/<Service name> start
or
invoke-rc.d <Service name> start
to check the status of a service, look at ps -e (grepping as
appropriate) or check
invoke-rc.d <Service name> status
(or /etc/init.d/<Service name>)
personally, i like the /etc/init.d/ route as you get tab completion of
a service name, if you happen to not remember it exactly.
Many services won't actually start unless they are enabled in
/etc/default/<service name>, so if you start a service and it doesn't
seem to work, check there.

I've checked in /etc/init.d, there is no tftp, nor tftpd. I did
installed by "apt-get install tftp" and "apt-get install tftpd". Where
are those scripts? Or did I installed wrong tftp packages?

That is the same way in FC where service script can be
start/stop/restart. But, I could not find tftp or tftpd scripts.

I've tried "/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d tftpd status" with following error:
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/tftpd not found.
Thank you.

program. It does not install anything in /etc/init.d. I am not sure if
that program can run as a daemon.

inetd or as a daemon. You might want to look into that program. I
always use http://packages.debian.org when researching packages. But,
that is just my preference.

looks like you probably did install the wrong package.
Useful bits:
dpkg -L tftpd
will show you what files were installed by that package.
to see what a package contains before installing it:
apt-cache show tftpd
will provide the package description and various details such as
dependencies.
Indeed, from packages.debian.org and the package description, looks
like tftpd expects to start form inet.d, so you'd have to put the
proper entries in inet.d.conf and will not see the daemon running
unless someone's actually connected.

Package `tftpd' does not contain any files (!)
This is stange and I am confused, how can calling "apt-get install
tftpd" get nothing??

Description: Trivial file transfer protocol server
Tftpd is a server which supports the Internet Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(RFC 783). The TFTP server operates at the port indicated in the `tftp'
service description; see services(5). The server is normally started by
inetd(8).
Tag: admin::boot, admin::file-distribution, filetransfer::ftp,
interface::daemon, network::server, protocol::ftp, protocol::ip,
role::program, use::configuring
So, the tftpd is the tftp server, what's going here??

Well, my inetd.conf contains following tftp:
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /srv/tftp
How to start/stop/restart the intd?

I have had good results by installing the tftpd-hpa package. You can run
it from either inetd or standalone. For running the standalone version
you need to disable it in /etc/inetd.conf and set the relevant flag to
"yes" in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

Install some tftp client (say tftp-hpa), then try getting a file from
the machine:
==
$ tftp localhost
tftp> get somefile
==
If you get an error almost immediately saying the file could not be
found, that means the server is running :)

Without seeing the actual session where you did this, its hard to say.

depends on which inetd you have installed.
ls /etc/init.d/ | grep inet
and then /etc/init.d/<results of above> start/stop/restart as
required.

I'll run /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart when above question is confirmed.

yeah. you've got a problem there.
do
apt-get update
apt-get --reinstall install tftpd
and provide the output from the install command.

right, but that won't help with tftpd until you get it installed

sorry for not being clear. the problem was that dpkg thinks you've
removed the package as evidenced by the dpkg -L failure and the status
of tftpd shown in dpkg -l (rc for removed but still configured (i
think)) while apt-cache thinks the package is installed as shown by
the previous apt-cache policy output.
By --reinstalling it, the files should be there now.
you can verify with
dpkg -l tftpd
which should now show
...
ii tftpd blah blah blah
and
dpkg -L tftpd
which should show a handful of files (its a pretty small package).
and now you can try restarting inet.d and see what happens.

Well, I've called "$ sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart", but
tftpd doesn't seem work.
I tried a tftp client, but could not get files. Also I tried "netstat
-a | grep tftp", nothing shown up??

try running it directly, instead of from inet.d because I'm guessing
this is an inet.d configuration problem. I don't use inet.d, so
someone else will have to help here.

Thanks Andrew, you are indeed so helpful.
Fow anyone who knows debian, please help me the following:
In FC6, the tftp script is in xinetd.d, I can call xinetd restart to
include tftp service.
In Debian, I could not find a tftp script in init.d. In fact, I could
not find a tftp script under /etc. How can I get the tftp service?

Leave tftpd for good and try out tftpd-hpa which seems easier to setup
and can be started as a daemon the "invoke-rc.d" way.
I've been using it for a year now for several thin clients and I've
never had any problems.
Best,

I had replied to this thread earlier, but apparently my post was lost.
Anyway here it is again:
I have had good results by installing the tftpd-hpa package. You can run
it from either inetd or standalone. For running the standalone version
you need to disable it in /etc/inetd.conf and set the relevant flag to
"yes" in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
To check whether the server is running, install some tftp client (say
tftp-hpa), then try getting a file from the machine:
==
$ tftp localhost
tftp> get somefile
==
If you get an error almost immediately saying the file could not be
found, that means the server is running :)
