A couple of questions for those experienced users out there.
I have setup a linux box to netboot a sun at a friends house. rarp works, but
tftpd doesn't perform 'as expected'.
What I mean by this is I can use the 'tftp' program to verify tftpd is indeed running,
by typing 'get /tftpboot/hio' as a test. However, 'get hio' fails every time.
Even when I add the '-s /tftpboot' on the command line. Somehow tftpd wants an
absolute path. However the sun, as I understand it, is asking for 'C0A80002.SUN4',
which obviously is a long way from /tftpboot/C0A80002.SUN4, but I really have no
way of finding out if it is or not.
I've been told to use tcpdump, but I don't know where to get it. So, I guess I
must ask where is tcpdump, is this normal tftp behavior, and where can I find the
latest tftp source/binaries?
btw, the 'sun' server on campus is setup with '-s /tftpboot' as command line options
to the tftpd in /etc/inetd.conf, and it DOES allow one to grab files with simply
a 'get filename' ... so I'm thinking I've an old binary or something. What I have,
however, came with slackware 3.0. (not that that is ever up to date or anything).
If it helps any, I see:

in the binary itself.
Any suggestions?
