Folks.

Distro is OpenSUSE 11, X64

I'm trying to get a box to allow inbound tftp connections. As far as I
can tell, the config is right for xinet.d. Config file is as follows

service tftp
{
        socket_type     = dgram
        protocol        = udp
        wait            = yes
        user            = jffnms
        group           = www
        server          = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args     = -s /opt/jffnms/tftpd/
}

However, every time I try to connect to the tftp service, I get the
following error in my logs

Sep 24 09:18:03 fred in.tftpd[29931]: cannot set groups for user nobody

I think this means the service is trying to run as user nobody -
despite the config file telling it to run as another user.

Anyone got any clue why? Or can point out what I've stuffed up?

TIA
