Debian 9 tftp issue

Show all headers | View raw

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] - view raw

Hello everyone,

I am trying to setup a PXE server on a computer on which I've just
installed Debian 9.2.

So I've installed tftpd-hpa, and left the configuration as it was:
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/srv/tftp"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"

But, I can't connect to port 69, from other computers. I'm getting a timeout

This seems very strange, since I can see the tftp service in netstat:

:~$ sudo netstat -tulpn

    465/avahi-daemon: r

The firewall was left with its defaults on this computer:

:~$ sudo iptables -L -nv
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 968 packets, 96829 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
 destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
 destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 525 packets, 129K bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
 destination


However, if I check the ports from other computers, it seems that nothing's
listening there:

:~$ nc -vz lab 69
lab.home.org [192.168.1.179] 69 (?) : Connection refused
:~$ nc -vz lab 22
lab.home.org [192.168.1.179] 22 (ssh) open

But, if I try to connect from localhost, I can get a test file that I've
created in /srv/tftp/:

:~$ echo "get hello.txt" | tftp 192.168.1.179
tftp> Received 7 bytes in 0.0 seconds
tftp>

Does anybody know what's happening here? What I should check?
Please help me with any suggestions or ideas you might have.

Thank you,
