TFTP service dies after running for a certain time

Hi,

I'd need some help regarding the built-in TFTP service of OMV. I've set up the service successfully with the OMV Web GUI and after booting up OMV, it runs perfectly for a certain time. However, after an unknown amount of time, the service seems to die - obviously without any corresponding entry in the system logs. I tried to turn on verbose logging by adding extra option '-vv' to the TFTP settings, but that didn't show any effect.

I would be glad if anybody could provide a hint how I might perform further troubleshooting on the problem...

Regards,

André

Thanks for the hints. I reset the permissions to tftp:tftp (is this correct or should this be root:root?). There were some ACLs present which I removed also. Time will tell if it works...

Regarding memtest: I don't think that there's a hardware problem. The problem appeared after installing the latest OMV version. I ran a pre-1.0 version for years without a single TFTPD crash.

Unfortunately, I'm still experiencing the same problem.

I found a daemon log entry which might correspond with the problem:

in.tftpd[2357]: cannot resolve local IPv4 bind address: 0.0.0.0, Name or service not known

So after some searching, I'm suspecting that I might be affected by the following bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771441

Can somebody with a deeper insight into the Debian/OMV startup behavior confirm that this might be a problem?

Hm, no. Sounds like that could solve my problem.
I'll give it a try...
