Hello,
we recently bought the image-backup-module, configured PXE-boot so clients can connect en pickup their config from the OPSI-server.
The issue we have:
- clients have a 'requested action' set through 'opsi config editor'
- a 'MAC-address-file' was created in /tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg/ for that client
- client PXE-boots, connects the OPSI-server but it's doesn't pickup the 'MAC-address-file
In /tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg I noticed that the MAC-address-file is owned by root.root, which is probably the problem. If I chown the file to opsiconfd.pcpatch the client receives it's MAC-address-file and the requested-action is executed.
Is the owner of the file owned by root.root by design or did I miss a configuration step?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards, Eric

Re: PXE + 'MAC-address-file' owned by root.root
Hello Eric,
permissions root:root must not necessarily be a problem - this works fine in our local environment.
What tftpd do you use?
Does /var/log/syslog show any signs of problems with tftp?
With kind regards
Niko

Hi Niko,
thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately nothing is logged to /var/log/syslog, but I'm now starting to doubt myself anyway.
The second time I set a 'requested action' for a netboot product for this client (with 'opsi config editor'), it successfully picks up the MAC-address-file and starts the requested action.
I've removed the client from the opsi server, removed all log-files of this client, added the client again and, when PXe-booting, it picks up the MAC-adress-file the first time it connects the server..
Apparently (and really annoying) the problem solved itself somehow. I'm going to try to reproduce the issue.
Thanks again.
