Greetings all - I am wrestling with the following problem and wonder if you can help.. I have a sun 4/330 and a new employee has brought with them a NCD xterminal. They want to be able to boot the Xterm off the 4/330. All the files necessary for this to happen are supposed to be located in /tftpboot in various subdirectories.With all the fonts and such my / partition gets too full, I am not currently in a position to repartition my disk and so I was wondering if I could just change the location of /tftpboot.. I think all I have to do is modify /etc/inetd.conf so that in.tftpd -s is the new location for tftpboot directory.. My concern is that I currently do not have any diskless clients, all are dataless, if I get diskless clients, will they still be able to boot with tftpboot in a place other than /. Also is there anything else I need to watch out for..??? Like file/directory protections. If I move everything and try a tftp get to the directory, will that prove that /tftpboot has been successfully moved.. By the way I plan on moving /tftpboot to /local/nodename/tftpboot where I have room for all the files.. In other words, what am I getting myself into if I move it... Will I be screwed in the future..?? Please be gentle with me as I`ve only been doing this for a few months... Thanks for all your great help- Susanne Ramsey .^.^.
