>Confidential:   no
>Severity:       non-critical
>Priority:       low

>Originator:     Jeff Woodall
>Release:        NetBSD 6.1.1
>Organization:
        N/A
>Environment:
System: NetBSD widebody.sleepy.cat 6.1.1 NetBSD 6.1.1 (GENERIC) amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
        Native tftpd no longer has -c option even though manpage mentions
        it. Without -c tftpd won't allow unrestricted creation of new files.
>How-To-Repeat:
        Try to use tftpd -c option
>Fix:
        Either restore the -c functionality or update tftpd manpage.
        Restoring the previous functionality would be useful in some
        situations and probably shouldn't pose a security risk as long
        as -c is left out of the default /etc/inetd.conf entries.
