syslog entry

[Otto Folprecht]

Im getting in the syslog the following entry:
No Security mechanisam exists; see tftpd

Any ideas?

Hi

From man tftpd:-

No security mechanism exists
The pseudo-user tftp was not found in the password database (/etc/passwd), and tftpd was invoked without any path arguments.

Add or correct the entry for the pseudo-user tftp in the password database /etc/passwd. Or, add an access list (path arguments) to the tftpd arguments in the inetd configuration file /etc/inetd.conf. Reconfigure inetd with the command inetd -c.
