syslinux-tftpboot uses old /tftpboot directory
Last modified: 2014-10-14 02:36:17 EDT
Description of problem: syslinux-tftpboot installs files into /tftpboot but tftp-server creates and configures /var/lib/tftpboot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): syslinux-tftpboot-4.02-8.el6.x86_64 tftp-server-0.49-7.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install tftp-server syslinux-tftpboot 2. chkconfig tftp on 3. tftp localhost -c get pxelinux.0 Actual results: Error code 1: File not found Expected results: (success) Additional info: I can't find any specific answers in the LSB or FHS but it seems that /var/lib/tftpboot has been adopted as the correct place for tftp files. I don't know what selinux might permit. see also #785955 #821481 #920744
Reproduced with syslinux-tftpboot-4.02-8.el6, retested with syslinux-tftpboot-4.04-3.el6. All files from syslinux-tftpboot are stored in /var/lib/tftpboot/, and getting pxelinux.0 from tftp works fine with default configuration. Moving to VERIFIED.
Does this bug need to be cloned for RHEL 7?
