You are correct thanks. I've read this before but was more concerned about other users trolling through the FTP root and not reading files they are not supposed to. I mean, sure they can read them if they know the exact path and filename via tftp, which isn't critical. I managed to just turn off the world readable permissions one directory up which will prevent users on the system from going into the root and looking around. Thanks again for pointing this out. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor@inoc.net I came, I saw, I deleted all your files. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Hoskins [mailto:mike@adept.org] > Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 3:45 PM > To: Robert Blayzor > Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Problem in tftpd > > > On Tue, 11 Jun 2002, Robert Blayzor wrote: > > > I'm running into a problem with tftpd.
