Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tftpd-hpa
The options that should be passed to in.tftpd when being run as a daemon
are not used. Instead in.tftpd uses the options in the /etc/inetd.conf
file.
For example if I set in /etc/default/tftp-hpa:
#Defaults for tftpd-hpa
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
OPTIONS="-l -s /tftpboot"
and use the command
# sudo /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa restart
tftp uses /var/lib/tftpboot and not /tftpboot as I want. To fix this I
commented out the offending line in /etc/inetd.conf which was running
tftp as an inet process and everything works as it should. If a person
wants to run tftpd-hpa as a daemon and not an inet process then this
step needs to be documented, possibly in /etc/default/tftp-hpa.
Changing /etc/default/tftp-hpa to:
#Defaults for tftpd-hpa
# If running tftpd-hpa as a daemon change RUN_DAEMON to yes
# and comment out tftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf file.
RUN_DAEMON="no"
OPTIONS="-l -s /tftpboot"
Or alternatively the line in /etc/inetd.conf should be commented out as
default and running tftpd-hpa as a daemon should be the default
behavior. As this is only a recent problem with Hardy there can be
some confusion when doing an upgrade about why tftp is not using the
right directory, better documentation of recent changes should be made.
