No, thats actually incorrect. Yes, tftpd generally runs as nobody. Yes, tftpd can run as nobody when using it with JFFNMS However if you do not give whatever user you run the JFFNMS cron-jobs write permission to that directory then the cron job cannot make the temporary file and the TFTP transfer will fail. The tftp daemon needs to "see" the specified file in the directory that is globally writeable, or at least writeable to the nobody user. If that file is not there, then the tftpd refuses the transfer. There's two sets of permissions involved, the first being what tftpd runs as, which is usually nobody. The second is what JFFNMS runs as. The directory needs to be accessible to both. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
