Hi all. Ok, it looks like the tftpboot directory needs 777 permissions, since nothing lower works. Since it theoretically shouldn't be accessible to anyone from the outside, that's not a too big of a deal I guess. Also, from looking at the portmap and in.tftpd man pages, it looks like I'm save as long as my hosts.deny and hosts.allow are set up correctly, which they are. Also, I'm thinking endoshield blocks automatically whatever I don't explicitly open. If anyone has any other comments, please share.
