Description m.koenigshaus 2012-07-09 17:19:45 UTC 
Changing the xchdir to xchroot in tftpd.c has an ugly sideeffect on my uclib - based ARM - Board: After xchroot the Option -u <user> (e.g. -u root) is not useable, I get "tftpd: unknown user root". I thing, with getpwnam - call uclib looks for /etc/passwd in the chrooted directory. Reverting the patch solves the problem.
