TFTP is not the most secure protocol, and therefore should be adequately protected. It is controlled via
xinetd
and deactivated by default. To enable and start it, execute the following commands:
# chkconfig --level 345 xinetd on
# chkconfig --level 345 tftp on
# service xinetd start
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
The TFTP server supplied with Oracle Linux 6 uses the directory
/var/lib/tftpboot
to export files. To separate
different install images it is a good idea to create a subdirectory per installation source. In the example I am
using
/var/lib/tftpboot/ol64/
. The boot procedure laid out in the following example is based on PXELINUX,
a network boot loader similar to SYSLINUX. You may know the latter from installing end-user Linux installations.
Install the
syslinux
package using
YUM
. Once the
syslinux
package has been installed, a few files need to be
copied into /var/lib/tftpboot, as shown below:
# cp -iv /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /var/lib/tftpboot/ol64/
`/usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0' -> `/var/lib/tftpboot/ol64/pxelinux.0'
