A quick one
I have started up tftp with the following config on red-hat
[root@machine tftpboot]# more /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -c -s /tftpboot
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
If i try to copy a file from a remote device it fails with permissions errors unless I set the permissions on the tftpboot path to allow all to read and write.
it also creates the files in there with the user nobody.
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 13088 Jul 11 21:56 5_1.cfg-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 13892 Jul 11 21:55 5_2.cfg
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 12548 Jul 11 21:55 5_3.cfg
I thought the idea of the user varible in the config was to set who the service runs as.
I don't want to leave the tftpboot path with all users able to read/write. Can any one tell me how to get TFTP to read and write as a specific user?
cheers
