Problem

[nz@NZ35241-H2 ~]$ nzstart -i ERROR: The TFTP service (/etc/xinetd.d/tftp) is not restricted to subnet 10.0.0.0/16 ERROR: The TFTP configuration (/etc/xinetd.d/tftp) does not allow creation of files ERROR: The TFTP configuration (/etc/xinetd.d/tftp) does not set the root directory to '/'p

Resolving The Problem

Make sure the file /etc/xinetd.d/tftp is configured as follow:



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
}


Then restart the service: service xinetd restart
