i am using rh7 with xinetd. the following tftp config is in place:

service tftp
{
        socket_type             = dgram
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = nobody
        log_on_success          += USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = /tftpboot
        disable                 = no
}

the machine is listening on udp 69 and answers calls, however the machine
does not seem to allow devices to write to the /tftpboot directory through
tftp or read from it. the dir on the server is 777.

i am feeling that tftpd is not chrooting properly or something is
incorrect within the server_args.

does anyone have tftp out of the box running properly on rh7?

thanks -cjm
