Hi All,
guys, what is this..?
Apr 8 04:24:53 localhost in.tftpd[6352]: WRQ from 192.168.168.12
filename /tftp boot
Found in /var/log/messages today after I added -v -v -v to
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp as suggested by Andy Green. What I don't un, is, why
does it show the time as 04:24:53 when others are per the pc clock
time..? Cheers.
Mark Sargent.
