[10:29] hello [10:31] stgraber: I heard you were wonderfully helpful and as was stated, 'a wonderful chap'. Maybe you can help me. [10:31] so recently, I got an edubuntu LTSP machine up and running. everything runs smoothly. The only issue I seem to have, is when the server boots up, tftpd-hpa doesn't work until I do a `service tftpd-hpa restart` [10:31] these 2 lines are before service restart and after service restart [10:31] root 12526 0.0 0.0 2704 124 ? Ss 10:48 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --listen --user tftp --address 0.0.0.0:69 --secure /var/lib/tftpboot [10:31] root 1136 0.0 0.0 2704 120 ? Ss 11:49 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --listen --user tftp --address 0.0.0.0:69 --secure /var/lib/tftpboot [10:31] they're exactly the same [10:31] but the client machines do not find the tftp server until I restart the service [10:39] Squirm: I don't remember the tftpd-hpa behaviour right now, but could it be that the network interface is not up yet when the process starts during boot?
