[olug] tftpd problem

[Jon H. Larsen]

I need to copy some files via tftp from a cisco router to a box I had 
lying around.

I installed the Redhat tftp RPMs for rh72.  Created a folder /var/tftp, 
changed the xinetd.d/tftp entry from /tftpboot to /var/tftp. Also added logging 
feature, and ability to create files (see man tftpd).

xinetd.d/tftp
	server_args		= -l -c -s /var/tftp

The /tftpboot directory is /not/ created when installing the Redhat rpm.
What directory permissions need to be on the target directory?

Here is my target directory (this is only a temporary service, it'll be 
gone once I'm done with it)

drwxrw-rw-    2 nobody   root         4096 May  8 08:56 /var/tftp

When sending a file to the tftp server, things start out fine, then the 
connection fails.

May  8 13:56:48 machine in.tftpd[26949]: receiving filename1
May  8 13:57:13 machine in.tftpd[26949]: tftpd: read: Connection refused


Interesting thing is, the file is created fine - I have a directory entry, 
but it's a zero length file.  There simply isn't any writes after 
the directory table entry.

-rw-rw-rw-    1 nobody   nobody          0 May  8 08:56 filename1

Has anyone seen this before?

Very odd..
