[SOLVED] Standalone TFTP server?

Skaperen · 12-07-2010, 02:11 PM

I'm looking for a purely standalone TFTP server that does not make use of inetd, can be run by non-root users (at non-root port numbers, of course), and if run as root, can do chroot and switch to a non-root user to shed root privileges.

Turns out that tftpd-hpa will do standalone. It's just annoyingly packaged with a dependency on inetd that I did not want.

man tftpd, there is the option -l to run it in standalone mode. At least for the one I use.

I didn't have tftpd installed when I was checking. When I did try to install it, it was trying to also install inetd. So I thought that was an inetd version. They should have made inetd a suggested package, rather than a dependent package.
