Package: tftpd-hpa Version: 0.48-2.3 Severity: normal Hi Jaakko,
I tried to use tftpd-hpa from inetd, but failed. First I verified that my tftpd-hpa installation works: $ cat /etc/default/tftpd-hpa #Defaults for tftpd-hpa RUN_DAEMON="yes" OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot" % invoke-rc.d tftpd-hpa restart Restarting HPA's tftpd: in.tftpd. Then tftp localhost was able to get the file from server. Then, I stopped tftpd-hpa daemon and revert to inetd: % invoke-rc.d tftpd-hpa stop Stopping HPA's tftpd: in.tftpd. Because there is no default entries /etc/inetd.conf to enable, I added the following entry according to http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s06.html.en: tftp dgram udp wait nobody:nogroup /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd /var/lib/tftpboot Still, that didn't works for me with the following in the system log: cannot set groups for user nobody Details: $ tail -1 /etc/inetd.conf tftp dgram udp wait nobody:nogroup /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd /var/lib/tftpboot % /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd reload; date Reloading internet superserver: inetd. Tue Nov 11 16:26:01 EST 2008 $ tail -2 /var/log/daemon.log Nov 11 16:26:27 helios in.tftpd[21141]: connect from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) Nov 11 16:26:27 helios in.tftpd[21142]: cannot set groups for user nobody I've also tried tftp dgram udp wait nobody:nogroup /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd -l /var/lib/tftpboot and tftp dgram udp wait nobody:nogroup /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd -l -s /var/lib/tftpboot but neither works. The reason that I file it as bug because I've found a similar problem at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.rc/18371 Please help. tong -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (300, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-grml (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tftpd-hpa depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra pn sysv-rc <none> (no description available) Versions of packages tftpd-hpa recommends: ii openbsd-inetd [inet-superse 0.20080125-1 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii update-inetd 4.31 inetd configuration file updater tftpd-hpa suggests no packages. -- debconf information: tftpd-hpa/use_inetd: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
