Bug 834528 – net-ftp/atftp-0.7.5 tftp root directory path inconsistent

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jospezial 2022-03-03 11:50:54 UTC]

/etc/conf.d/atftp:
TFTPD_ROOT="/tftproot"

I added -v to TFTPD_OPTS.
/tftproot is used when started as openrc init script:
Mar  3 12:21:52 jlgentoo atftpd[10631]:   directory: /tftproot/

latest entry for directory (21 Aug 2009) is /srv/tftp in
https://sourceforge.net/p/atftp/code/ci/master/tree/Changelog

man page:
path   This  is  the root directory used by the TFTP server. All requested files from a TFTP client must reside in this directory. If not specified, the directory defaults to /tftpboot. Since atftpd run as the nobody user, the permission of the directory must be set properly to
              allow file reading and writing.


atftpd --help
Usage: tftpd [options] [directory]

 [directory] must be a world readable/writable directories.
 By default /tftpboot is assumed.
