Description of Problem: "man tftpd" says Access to files may be restricted by invoking tftpd with a list of direc- tories by including pathnames as server program arguments ... but I get this behaviour only with the first such directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tftp-server-0.17-14 How Reproducible: completely Steps to Reproduce: 1. make /etc/xinetd.d/tftpd say server_args = /tftpboot /usr/lib/X11/ncd 2. /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart 3. tftp the-roswell-machine tftp> get /tftpboot/somefile (works) tftp> get /usr/lib/X11/ncd/otherfile (access violation) Actual Results: see above Expected Results: see above Additional Information: correct in Seawolf.
Just tested it with tftp-server-0.17-14 and had no problems. Have you verified that the directory and the files are world readable as the tftp server will run as nobody? Read ya, Phil
