New directory for tftpd and FAI files?

[Thomas Lange]

Hi all,

with squeeze, the tftp daemon can only be run in daemon mode.
The default root directory for tftpd will be /srv/tftp.

Currently in FAI we change the root directory of tftpd from
/var/lib/tftpboot to /srv/tftp/fai, this is done in inetd.conf by
default.

I'm thinking about different possibilities how to handle that for
squeeze.

1) Use the new default path /srv/tftp for tfptd, so that no changes to
   tftpd has to be done.

   a) Use the subdirectory /srv/tftp/fai for FAI files as before,
      which means that fai-chboot and the dhcpd.conf entry for
      pxelinux.0 also must add the prefix fai/ to all filenames.

   b) Put vmlinux*, initrd* files, pxelinux.0 and the pxelinux.cfg
      subdirectoy under /srv/tftp, so no changes to dhcpd.conf and
      fai-chboot has to be done.

2) The user has to change the default path of tftpd to /srv/tftp/fai,
   no other changes are needed. Currently the user is asked to do this
   change in inetd.conf when tftpd is started from inetd.

I appreceate any suggestions and like to hear your opinion.
