Hi

I am attempting to write a script to provide full Slackware
installation support for ltsp (www.ltsp.org). As part of the process,
I need to enable trivial ftp tftp.

I uncommented the line in /etc/inetd.conf to enable tftp but when I
try to connect I receive an error in /var/log/syslog like the
following:

syslog:Oct 23 22:46:08 compaq in.tftpd[122]: cannot set groups for
user nobody

Does anyone have any idea what to do to correct this?

Tim

Hi

I tried changing the user in /etc/inet.conffrom nobody to root and it
works fine. However, I assume that this is a less than secure thing
to do. Any other ideas?
