Hi I am currently running cobbler and dhcp, it all worked before rebooting ubuntu now after I have restarted the main service I am getting this error in m syslog

/var/syslog .... 

bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98))
. service = tftp

xinetd -d

17/5/21@17:42:25: ERROR: 3249 {activate_normal} bind failed (Permission denied (err
no = 13)). service = tftp
17/5/21@17:42:25: ERROR: 3249 {cnf_start_services} Service tftp failed to start and
 is deactivated.
17/5/21@17:42:25: DEBUG: 3249 {cnf_start_services} mask_max = 0, services_started =
 0

Please could you advise me on how I clear out the addresses

Thanks

Lewis

  • It seems to be due to the tftpd address is in use, although I have rebooted the ubuntu machine. – Lewis May 21 '17 at 16:56
  • See which program has the port allocated: `sudo lsof -i udp:tftp` – waltinator May 21 '17 at 17:03
  • Hi @waltinator thank you, I have tried this and checked the port but I still have the original error. If I rebuild the machine and get it working, is there any way to preserve the state before I reboot it in the future? – Lewis May 21 '17 at 19:13

    DON'T REBUILD! It won't help. Fix this problem. What did `sudo lsof -i udp:tftp` show? It's an information-gathering step, not the fix. – waltinator May 21 '17 at 20:19
