Package: grub-common Version: 2.00-5 Severity: wishlist I observe that grub-mknetdir works fine as a non-privileged user. Making it an "administrator-only" tool by placing it in /usr/sbin/ seems like it encourages people to update their tftp server directories as root, when they don't necessarily need extra privileges to do that.
Maybe it belongs in /usr/bin instead? 0 dkg@stylus:~/tmp$ /usr/sbin/grub-mknetdir --net-directory=/home/dkg/netdir Netboot directory for i386-pc created.
