Bug 132889 – net-ftp/tftp-hpa-0.40-r1 - small error in in.tftpd config file

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Laradji nacer 2006-05-10 05:42:04 UTC]

There is a mistake in /etc/conf.d/in.tftpd

This options is :
# Path to server files from
INTFTPD_PATH="/tftproot"

but it will be i think :
# Path to server files from
INTFTPD_PATH="/tftpboot"

Because pxes use /tftpboot and create this one :)

Reopen with 'equery b /etc/conf.d/in.tftpd' output or post the ebuild name and version here. Really please don't assume that everyone must have have every weird thing installed to find out where does that file come from.

I don't agree with you 100%, but I have made a similar change to the conf.d source file and the ebuild.

The conf.d file now has /tftpboot (amongst others), but commented out, with an instruction to set it as per your requirements, and the ebuild has a similar instruction.

It really shouldn't matter, and the ebuild does NOT create the directory.

/tftp[br]oot is a nasty location anyway, I always use /var/tftp/ on my systems.

Please check the other TFTP clients and servers in portage and file similar bugs for them - a quick find indicates:
