[Dnsmasq-discuss] tftp 'Permission denied' issue...

[Steve Elliott]

Simon,

Thanks again. - I'm showing my Linux user ignorance!!

My user nobody cannot login or accept an su but

sudo -u nobody cp bootrom.pxe.o /tmp/

Works OK and leaves the expected entry

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 nobody nobody 482040 2010-05-16 11:41 /tmp/bootrom.pxe.0


So user nobody CAN read the file - dnsmasq is running as nobody

ps uax | grep dnsmasq
nobody    3661  0.0  0.0  14828   628 ?        S    11:31   0:00
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq -s norese.com.au
Steve     4057  0.0  0.0 102744   820 pts/0    S+   11:53   0:00 grep
dnsmasq

But dnsmasq-tftp still fails to read the file.

I'm puzzled.
