Developer Question: disabling provd's twistd custom tftp handler
Added by Brian Kelly 11 months ago
Is the following and acceptable solution???
I have a system that doesn't need provisioning services. Wazo's provisioning uses a twistd custom TFTP program that grabs port 69, that prevents using a regular TFTP server on the same box. You could change the port of the standard TFTP server but many clients wouldn't be able to find it.
A way to "disable" the Wazo twistd tftp implementation is to change its port number to something other than 69 in the file /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/provd/config.py
By making that change you can then run a regular tftp server without issue.
This seems to work without affecting anything else.
Comments?

Hi,
the right way to change the tftp port of xivo-provd would be to create a new configuration file with the value you want. To do so you can
mkdir -p /etc/xivo/custom-templates/provd/etc/xivo/provd cp /etc/xivo/provd/provd.conf /etc/xivo/custom-templates/provd/etc/xivo/provd/provd.conf
edit "/etc/xivo/custom-templates/provd/etc/xivo/provd/provd.conf" to add the "tftp_port=????" line that you want
xivo-update-config
That way your configuration will survive upgrades.
Obviously your phones will not get their configuration files and firmware. Other than that I could not say if there's going to be other side effects to this change.

Thx. Survivalablity was a concern. I'll give that a try.
