Question & Answer
Question
Does TFTPD only listen on the PureData Systems private network? What directories does tftpd share? Is there a way to programmatically tell if TFTP is a Pure Data for Analytics host vs a regular host running RHEL?
Answer
Below is the default TFTP settings in the host, it has access to the / folder but only from the internal network 10.0.0.0/16, which it is the default internal network (bond0) if customer has config IP, you will see a different subnet.
[root@p25-3e-d ~]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# 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
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -c -s /
nice = -10
only_from = 10.0.0.0/16
disable = no
log_type = SYSLOG daemon
log_on_success = HOST DURATION
log_on_failure = HOST
}
There is no major visible difference between a Pure Data Analytics host RHEL and any other SystemX host with the same OS, .
