    Hi Gurus,
    Im running a solaris 10 machine (sun 240) that im trying to use as a
    jumpstart server for solaris 8 and solaris 9 clients.
    I ran setup_install_server from sol8 and sol9, and add_install_client and
    have my jumpstart all setup correctly.

    But when I try to jumpstart a new machine the tftp doesnt want to start on
    my solaris 10 jumpstart server.
    It is enabled in /etc/inet/inetd.conf and my rarp is working fine.
    setup_install_server created my /tftpboot folder and all looks good, but
    the tftp doesnt seem to start for my clients.
    any ideas on how to get this working?
    my old jumpstart server running ok and was able to jumpstart the clients
    that sol 10 could not.

    I was doing some reading and it might be that tftp only works under ipv6 on
    solaris 10. Is that true? I have not enabled ipv6 on my solaris 10
    jumpstart server.
    If that is the issue, can you tell me how to enable ipv6 on my solaris 10
    server?

    thanks!

    here is some of my config:

    # grep ftp /etc/inet/inetd.conf
    # TFTPD - tftp server (primarily used for booting)
    tftp dgram udp6 wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s
    /tftpboot

    # l /tftpboot/
    total 674
