Use of '/dev/zero' to populate a "bigfile" created a situation that did not exhibit the problem. Use of '/dev/random' to populate a "bigfile" led to situation that did exhibit problem on 2 out of 2 attempts. When I replaced "/usr/libexec/tftpd" with the ports tftp-hpa "/usr/local/libexec/in.tftpd" did resolve the file transfer issue. I'll note that using the "hpa" version led to some confusion with the tftp client: I was forced to disable "options" to allow the tftp client to work - which seemed a bit off to me. >How-To-Repeat: setup server side: > su * enable tftpd in /etc/inetd.conf > cd /tftpboot > dd if=/dev/random of=bigfile bs=21504 count=10000 on same system: > cd /tmp > tftp localhost > get bigfile > ^D > ls -l bigfile >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
