Niels, Thanks for your input on this issue...
1) Your test confirms that "nobody" cannot access the file from outside the CWD... [Steve@regret tmp]$ sudo -u nobody cp /home/Steve/Shared/workspace/xxx/xxx/bootrom.pxe.0 . cp: cannot stat `/home/Steve/Shared/workspace/xxx/xxx/bootrom.pxe.0': Permission denied 2) I do have Selinux installed but I have turned off enforcing [Steve@regret tmp]$ cat /selinux/enforce 0 3) For the moment I lauch dnsmasq with "--user Steve" and achieve my pxe download. But I still think I am missing something about the general case - Can dnsmasq-tftp serve an arbitary file? How can I setup dnsmasq to serve files owned by different users? I need to think a little deeper about my directory structure for these downloads. Thanks again for your input Steve
