tftpd(1M) tftpd(1M)

name can be found in both locations,

tftpd accesses the one under tftp’s home directory.

Note that

inetd allows continuation of command lines in

inetd.conf by ending continued lines with a

backlash.

Deﬁning the

tftp pseudo-user is strongly recommended even when paths are speciﬁed, because client

access is further restricted to ﬁles that can be read and/or written by this pseudo-user. It is safe to set the

tftp pseudo-user’s home directory to

/ in this case.

DIAGNOSTICS

The following diagnostics are logged to the

syslogd

facility at the err log level (see syslogd(1M)).

No security mechanism exists

The pseudo-user tftp was not found in the password database (

/etc/passwd ), and tftpd

was invoked without any path arguments.

Add or correct the entry for the pseudo-user

tftp in the password database /etc/passwd .

Or, add an access list (path arguments) to the

tftpd arguments in the inetd conﬁguration ﬁle

/etc/inetd.conf

. Reconﬁgure inetd with the command inetd -c

Unknown option option ignored

An invalid option was speciﬁed in the tftpd arguments in the inetd conﬁguration ﬁle

/etc/inetd.conf.

Remove or correct the option. Restart

inetd with the command inetd -c.

Invalid total timeout value

The value given for the -T option was not a number or was a negative number.

Correct the value given for the -T option. Reconﬁgure inetd with the command inetd -c

Invalid retransmission timeout value

The value given for the

-R option was not a number or was a negative number.

Correct the value given for the -R option. Reconﬁgure inetd with the command inetd -c

system call

The named system call failed. See the corresponding manual entry for a description of the sys-

tem call. The reason for the failure is explained in the error message appended to the system

call.

WARNINGS

When invoked with no path arguments, tftpd cannot follow symbolic links that refer to paths outside of

the home directory of the pseudo-user tftp, because it performs a chroot().
