From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5 Description of problem: The rpm for tftp-server on RedHat 8.0 uses a default server-root of /tftpboot. It doesn't create a /tftpboot, though. If you do a "tftp localhost" and "get foo," eh tftp server goes crazy, and logs "file not found" to syslog infinitely, in a loop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat 8.0 default How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ivh tftp-server 2. chkconfig tftpd on 3. service xinitd restart 4. tftp localhost 5. get foo Actual Results: Client behaves appropriately. Server goes into a loop, reporting "file not found" to syslog, until disk is full. It looks like xinitd is actually spawning many tftpd's, and sending the same request to each of them. Expected Results: Server should log once. Additional info: If I do "mkdir /tftpboot," everything works fine.
