![]() Now when trying to tftp a file to my RHEL 4 box, I see the messages file declare Updated the tftp config file in /etc/xinetd.d and changed "user" field from 'root' to 'tftp'. I created such a user and it has these entries in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files: They recommend creating a new 'tftp' user, that has a /bin/false shell. Our RHEL 5.8 server needs to adhere to the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Security Technical Implementation Guide" put out by DISA, and GEN005120 stipulates that the "user" parameter in the config file must not be 'root', it must be a dedicated user. ![]() Vendor box is able to tftp its files just fine, can do a manual tftp client call from a RHEL 4 box on this network to get files. The /tftpboot directory itself is 0777, files within it are 0555. Initial setup with this /etc/xinetd.d/tftp config was fine: We need to enable tftp on this system in order for an external box to download its firmware, no other option from that vendor to set up their box. Having trouble re-configuring the tftp server on my RHEL 5.8 system. Hope I'm in the correct place to ask a question like this.
