Bug 69054 – tftp-hpa works on macos

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Michal Suchanek 2004-10-26 12:30:03 UTC]

with a few patches tftp-hpa can be emerged on macos and can serve some files to PXE boot roms.

1) the tftp and tftp.1 files are already present in the system so they should not be installed.

2) setreuid/setregid does not work on OS X so set[e]{g,u}id should be used instead.

Also the server cannot be run as non-root so I added a check that disables the id changing if the server is already not root. However, chroot does not work when non-root.
