Annoying tftp
tftp -v -v -v 192.168.0.100 -c get hello.txt
The output showed a bunch of "no route to host". It turns out that on the client you need to modprobe the nf_conntrack_tftp module. I put this permanently into /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config.
IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp"
. Everything works well then.
Another quick test using
nc -vz 192.168.0.100 69
netcat to test port 69 availability.
More tftp iptables rules.
Possibly selinux issues.
This is a clear reference on setting up a basic tftp server via xinetd. The Debians often seem to go with a non-xinetd using the tftpd-ha package instead.
