Now I can head home! Thanks again!

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18144, member: 7271”]what does the /var/log/messages say when this happens?[/quote]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! I just rebooted my laptop to try the tftp command from another machine and I forgot it is set to boot from network. And guess what!? It booted up into FOG! WOOOT! Many Thanks! If you are ever in Jackson, TN I’ll owe you a beer!

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18142, member: 7271”]Okay,

Run this command:
[code]sed -i ‘s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/’ /etc/sysconfig/selinux[/code]

Then reboot and try again![/quote]

I rebooted and tried again… and… Sucess!

tftp -4 localhost
tftp> get
(files) pxelinux.0
tftp>

BUT… When I try from another machine I am still getting the can’t write to local file error.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18140, member: 7271”]Ah ha!

Does your system need SELINUX running?[/quote]
Not that I am aware. This machine is an old dell Optiplex 740 and only used for FOG

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18136, member: 7271”]is selinux running per chance?[/quote]

sestatus
SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /selinux
Current mode: enforcing
Mode from config file: enforcing
Policy version: 24
Policy from config file: targeted

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18135, member: 7271”]Same error message as well?[/quote]

Yes sir. same error Permission Denied.

Should I try Percussive Maintenance?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18133, member: 7271”]can you perform
[code] tail -f /var/log/messages[/code]

Then, in another terminal or tty (CTRL+ALT+[1-6]) try your tftp command.

NOTE: [1-6] is a representation of a number, so type the individual tty you want access to. 1 is the one you usually first see.

You should see the access hopefully.

Display the output of that here for clarity.[/quote]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18131, member: 7271”]Can you show me the contents of:

[code]/etc/xinetd.d/tftp[/code][/quote]

default: off

description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless # workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, # and to start the installation process for some operating systems.

service tftp

protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2

}

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18128, member: 7271”]okay, thanks.

Maybe this fixes it fingers crossed lol.[/quote]

had fingers and toes crossed but no luck.

When running tftp on the server I am still getting Error code 0: Permission denied

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 18126, member: 7271”]I’m going to ask that you reboot the server, if that’s okay with you?

But before you reboot type:

[code]touch /forcefsck
shutdown -rF now[/code]

The shutdown -rF now command will force the system to shutdown and ensure that, if for some other reason, forcefsck will work on next reboot.[/quote]

Rebooting now.
