[luau] service confusion: tftpd setup

[Charles Lockhart]

I've been out on vacation for a couple of weeks, and I just got back to 
work today, and I go to set up tftpd on Sony vaio laptop running redhat 
9, and I am totally boggling.

I run the little Server Settings->Services wizard, which launches the 
Service Configuration tool, and click on the tftpd box, save the 
settings, and start it, and I can now tftp from the laptop to the laptop 
and download files.

I try tftp'ing from a different computer, no work.  So I start messing 
with the iptables file, and after changing a bunch of stuff, still, no work.

So I'm boggled.

Basically I'm just editting the iptables file generated by lokkit 
(which, yeah, they don't recommend) to include one line that will allow 
the service.  I tried:

-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp --dport 69 -j ACCEPT

which is just a variation on the other rules in their.  And then I ran 
"/sbin/services iptables restart", and got a bunch of OK's.  And none of 
it made any difference.  Then I added a line that changes the udp to a 
tcp, restarted, no change.  Then I went nuts, did a bunch of stuff, 
still no work.

My sanity is ebbing, so I'm going to get a beer and think more on this, 
but if anybody has a good, reasonable suggestion, or god forbid a 
straight out answer to my dilemma, I'd be much obliged.
