Hi All,
does the -s in the path in this file represent a soft link.? If so, where would I find this link's path..?
[root@localhost xinetd.d]# cat tftp service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/bin/tftp server_args = -s /tftpboot disable = no per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 }
Doing a find / -name tftpboot -print gives the following,
[root@localhost xinetd.d]# find / -name tftpboot -print /var/tftpboot /var/tftpboot/tftpboot
Is one of those the link's location.? Cheers.
according to man tftpd
-s Change root directory on startup. This means the remote host
does not need to pass along the directory as part of the
transfer, and may add security. When -s is specified, exactly one
directory should be specified on the command line.
The use of this option is recommended for security as well as
compatibility with some boot ROMs which cannot be easily
made to include a directory name in its request.Mark Sargent.
