An interesting issue came up today with our RHEL-5 system running cobbler. We had not built a system in a couple of days, and had not seen any issues. Today of the systems could get tftp images from the box. They kept getting permission denied. For some reason the files in /tftpboot/images were 0600 (and directories 0700) which must have worked last week but did not today. the reason is that the EL-5 tftpd daemon gets the pxecfg.conf file as root but becomes nobody and could not get any of the scripts below it. Changing the permissions to 0644 and 0755 fixed the issue.
Now why did it work last week? I don't know.. I can't see any config file changes that would have allowed it to do so.. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams!
