Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how you determine the tftp daemon version.  I need
to make sure that the version I have can support >32MB file transfers.  My
understanding is that the newer versions can do that.

TIA,
-Tennis

You tried "pkginfo -l SUNWtftp"?

Hi Walter,

Yes, I get this:

pkginfo -l SUNWtftp
ERROR: information for "SUNWtftp" was not found

So what TFTP do you use if not the standard one?

Please don't top post

Please post your responses at the bottom of the most recent one. Placing 
them at the top is called "top-posting", and is frowned upon here.

What version of Solaris are you running, and on what hardware? Please 
post the output of the command "uname -a"

If you enter the command "type in.tftpd", and it returns anything except 
"in.tftpd not found", then cut and paste the following command, ensuring 
that it is on a single line:

pkginfo -x `grep \`type in.tftpd | nawk '{print $3;}'\` 
/var/sadm/install/contents | head -1 | nawk '{print $NF;}'`

This should give you the version of the Solaris package containing in.tftpd.

If the "type" command says that in.tftpd is not found, try:

grep tftpd /var/sadm/install/contents | grep -v man

and post the result.

HTH,

Probably an older one.  It's not in a separate package in older
releases.

/usr/sbin/in.tftpd f none 0555 root bin 27244 58272 947116922 SUNWcsu

in.tftpd was part of the SUNWcsu package on Solaris 8 and earlier, not
in a separate package.

in.tftpd in Solaris 8 and earlier is limited to 32MB files (as specified 
in RFC783).

In Solaris 9 and later in.tftp has been enhanced to comply with RFCs 
1350 (which obsoletes RFC783), 2347, 2348 and 2349.

Upgrade to Solaris 9 (or get hold of an open source tftp daemon).

Try pkgchk -l -p /usr/sbin/in.tftpd

Courtesy suggests that you should have replied to the OP's original 
posting, not mine ;-)
