moving /tftpboot - HELP

[Susanne Ramsey]

Greetings all - 

I am wrestling with the following problem and wonder if you can help..  
I have a sun 4/330 and a new employee has brought with them a NCD xterminal.  
They want to be able to boot the Xterm off the 4/330.  All the files necessary 
for this to happen are supposed to be located in /tftpboot in various 
subdirectories.With all the fonts and such my / partition gets too full, I am 
not currently in a position to repartition my disk and so I was wondering if I 
could just change the location of /tftpboot.. 

I think all I have to do is modify /etc/inetd.conf so that in.tftpd -s is the 
new location for tftpboot directory..  My concern is that I currently do not 
have any diskless clients, all are dataless, if I get diskless clients, will 
they still be able to boot with tftpboot in a place other than /. Also is there 
anything else I need to watch out for..??? Like file/directory protections.  If 
I move everything and try a tftp get to the directory, will that prove that 
/tftpboot has been successfully moved..  By the way I plan on moving /tftpboot
to /local/nodename/tftpboot where I have room for all the files..  

In other words, what am I getting myself into if I move it... Will I be screwed
in the future..?? Please be gentle with me as I`ve only been doing this for a 
few months...

Thanks for all your great help- 

Susanne Ramsey
