Adding a TFTP User for an HP 9000
Follow the instructions in this section only if you are using an HP 9000 as the Site
Manager workstation.
To add a TFTP user for the HP 9000, enter a line with the following syntax in your
/etc/passwd file. We recommend that you use root (/) as the TFTP home directory.
tftp::<user_id>:<group_no.>::/:/bin/false
For example:
tftp::510:20::/:/bin/false
Setting Up Static Routes to Next-Hop Routers
If your workstation requires static routes, use this section to specify a path to the
network by
• Editing the inetd.conf file
• Verifying the routes
• Loading the changes into memory
You must set up a static route for each path between the routers and the BOOTP
server’s next-hop router.
You may want to specify a static route in a multihop environment or in an
environment using routing protocols such as RIP, where minor routing update
delays may extend the time it takes to Netboot.
Caution: Do not insert a slash (/) in the cd tftpboot command; a symbolic link
cannot contain references to directories above the directory specified in the
tftpd command line. Use the -s flag to provide additional security to your
network. (This flag restricts TFTPD access to a specified directory.)
Note: We recommend that you not use the System Administration Manager
(SAM) utility as an alternative to entering the commands above.
