- I've got a 4D/360 server (Uranium) with a CD drive and a bunch of 4D/35 and
- Indigo clients (4.0.5 on the server; clients vary from 3.3.2 on up).
-
- I've disabled logins on the guest account ("*" in the password field
- in /etc/passwd on the 360), and edited its /usr/etc/inetd.conf's tftp line:
-
- tftp dgram udp wait guest /usr/etc/tftpd \
- tftpd -l -s /usr/local/boot /CDROM/dist
- (folded for legibility).
-
- I also have cdromd running on the 360 to automount CD's.
-
- When I run inst on a remote machine, I can't get it to communicate with
- the 360 server:
-
- Sulfur:root> inst
- :
- :
- Inst> from guest@Uranium:/CDROM/dist

- inst: remote connection to guest@uranium blocked. See "help networkerror".
- inst: can't read software. See "help readerror".
-
- All "normal" network operations (NFS, NIS, telnet, ftp, etc.)
- are fine, so I know the network's good and both /etc/hosts and
- BIND have got the right names and addresses. There are no routers
- bridges or gateways between the machines, just 600 feet of thinwire
- and a repeater.
-
- I can't figure out what I'm missing here! Help!!
