[lug] tftp problem

[charles at lunarmedia.net]

this issue sounds familiar to the point that i think i may have seen this
before.

i am trying to write to a file on a remote server via tftp. the file
resident on the tftp server has 777 permissions and resides in the root of
the tftp directory structure /tftpboot/.
when i try to write to the file i receive the following in syslog:

Mar  9 12:13:01 testbox tftpd[1629]: tftpd: write: Operation not permitted
Mar  9 12:13:08 testbox tftpd[1633]: tftpd: trying to get file: Test
Mar  9 12:13:08 testbox tftpd[1633]: tftpd: serving file from /tftpboot/


Test is as follows:
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            0 Mar  9 12:13 Test

i am running:
tftp-server-0.16-5

inetd appears as:
tftp	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	in.tftpd
/tftpboot/


do i need a flag with in.tftpd to allow files to be written to the
directory. that sounds familiar, but i can't find anything regarding the
flag in man in.tftpd or man inetd
