TFTP Installation with ATFTPD

I use the atftpd tftp server daemon. For the most part, it is an easy package retrieval. However there are some custom security and directory settings. Installation

Install the package:

apt-get install atftpd

Edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out the line with tftpd.

Restart inetd:

/etc/init.d/inetd.dpkg-new restart

Create a new directory, user, group, and privleges:

mkdir /var/atftpd
cd /var
groupadd atftpd
useradd -d /var/atftpd -g atftpd atftpd
chmod 766 atftpd
chown atftpd.atftpd atftpd

Edit /etc/default/atftpd. Add '--user atftpd.atftpd' and change '/tftpboot' to '/var/atftpd'.

Start the service:

/etc/init.d/atftpd start
