(Also, I am not not trying to write via tftp, just read.) This is the error I see running with in full enforcing mode and it occurs each time the remote host (a bdi2000 jtag emulator) attempts to read its configuration file using tftp from the fedora box. Jul 4 00:36:33 wally xinetd[6013]: START: tftp pid=6706 from=192.168.1.21 Jul 4 00:36:33 wally in.tftpd[6706]: /home/gene/my_dir: Permission denied Jul 4 00:36:33 wally xinetd[6013]: EXIT: tftp status=66 pid=6706 duration=0(sec) When I change just the tftpd process to "permissive" using the selinux gui it fixes the problem. Note: If I put the files read by the emulator in the "standard" location, /var/lib/tftpd, it works OK in full enforcing mode. -gene > > On 07/04/2011 12:50 AM, Gene Smith wrote: >> I can manually run a tftp server that allows access to files in a >> directory under ~ with no problem.
