I think we really do need common tftpd configuration line. There's for example no way we can can currently provice common working ground with read-only and readwrite root filesystems. >I would really encourage you to follow the second road, even if more >complex, as it would be better overall for all our users. The only bigger question that I see, is how we handle /tftproot in root filesystem. This is legacy thing, and only way to deal with it, that I can see with my limited senses, is to make it a symlink, if it's not there already. Symlink to somewhere more manageable than root filesystem. Now, I tried to bring this up among tftp package maintainers while ago, but failed. --j -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
