-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Correcting myself... went on googling a bit, and went on searching FreeBSD integration of tftpd... When I found out about the location of the whereabouts of tftpd, it seems pfSense already has tftpd in that same location... this might be intresting, but I don't really want to leave monowall. Going to put a pfSense in virtualbox, to fool around a bit...

Maybe a tftp server package. | | | | Adam | | | | Michel Servaes wrote: | | I have no programming skills whatsoever, but today I stumbled upon an intresting PXE image namely from thinstation.net | | It seems you can load this image into a tftp server, point your DHCP to that file, and every PXE able computer would boot the thinstation client... | | | | I already tried the LiveCD of thinstation, and this looks very promising... if I can make monowall also serve some small files over tftp (stored in ram, when booting), it would reduce a computer just serving these tftp files... | | | | | | Maybe the question already has been asked, maybe no-one thought about expanding this functionality, but it would be really cool to be able to serve small files this way... (i think) | | | | | | maybe someone can explain me why this isn't intresting, currently I am going to fool around with a free tftp server on a Win2003 server... to see if I can make it work anyway... | |> | |> | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch | For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch | |> | |> | |> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiXnxYACgkQv/M5BB36DEZBLACgg3muz2Eql5XCpyQ7zw5IIyNp iW0AnAx42YHFNJedFSczFhzwdS5ES8eP =nizk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
