how do you configure atftpd?
no matter what I do, i can not get the path to be anything except /srv/tftp

/tftpboot exists and has 777

also,
--no-blksize doesn't work either.
i've edited /etc/default/atftpd
as well as /etc/inetd.conf

i can't find any other configuration files. I've even just tried to run atftpd standalone, but that doesn't work, either.

Code:



[15:35:12]root@server:~$ atftpd --tftpd-timeout 300 --retry-timeout 5 --mcast-port 1758 --mcast-addr 239.239.239.0-255 --no-blksize --mcast-ttl 1 --maxthread 100 --verbose=5 /mytftpdirecrory777

Usage: tftpd [options] [directory]

 [options] may be:

  -t, --tftpd-timeout <value>: number of second of inactivity before exiting

  -r, --retry-timeout <value>: time to wait a reply before retransmition

  -m, --maxthread <value>    : number of concurrent thread allowed

  -v, --verbose [value]      : increase or set the level of output messages

  --trace                    : log all sent and received packets

  --no-timeout              : disable 'timeout' from RFC2349

  --no-tsize                : disable 'tsize' from RFC2349

  --no-blksize              : disable 'blksize' from RFC2348

  --no-multicast            : disable 'multicast' from RFC2090

  --logfile <file>          : logfile to log logs to ;-)

  --pidfile <file>          : write PID to this file

  --listen-local            : force listen on local network address

  --daemon                  : run atftpd standalone (no inetd)

  --no-fork                  : run as a daemon, don't fork

  --user <user[.group]>      : default is nobody

  --group <group>            : default is nogroup

  --port <port>              : port on which atftp listen

  --bind-address <IP>        : local address atftpd listen to

  --mcast-ttl                : ttl to used for multicast

  --mcast-addr <address list>: list/range of IP address to use

  --mcast-port <port range>  : ports to use for multicast transfer

  --pcre <file>              : use this file for pattern replacement

  --pcre-test <file>        : just test pattern file, not starting server

  --mtftp <file>            : mtftp configuration file

  --mtftp-port <port>        : port mtftp will listen

  --no-source-port-checking  : violate RFC, see man page

  --mcast-switch-client      : switch client on first timeout, see man page

  -V, --version              : print version information

  -h, --help                : print this help



 [directory] must be a world readable/writable directories.

 By default /tftpboot is assumed.

Code:



[15:44:30]root@server:~$ tail -n 1000 /etc/default/atftpd 

USE_INETD=false

OPTIONS="--tftpd-timeout 300 --no-blksize --retry-timeout 5 --mcast-port 1758 --mcast-addr 239.239.239.0-255 --mcast-ttl 1 --maxthread 100 --verbose=5 /mytftpdirecrory777 "

as you can see, i've searched for every instance of /srv/tftp and it only comes up once in that file

Code:

[15:48:07]root@server:/etc$ ls -a |grep /srv/tftp * -R

grep: blkid.tab: No such file or directory

default/atftpd:OPTIONS="--tftpd-timeout 300 --retry-timeout 5 --no-blksize --mcast-port 1758 --mcast-addr 239.239.239.0-255 --mcast-ttl 1 --maxthread 100 --verbose=5 /mytftpdirecrory777 "

grep: fonts/conf.d/30-defoma.conf: No such file or directory

i also tried dpkg-reconfigure atftpd
which prompted me for many configuration options including port number, and server path, and log file. i changed the path of the log file. this worked. nothing else did. wtf atftpd?
