tftp server - downloaded files log & server_args ?

[jenaniston]

This could be easy for an expert . . .

Now that I have client MAC and can declare a fixed IP address,
from snort and tcpdump I can tell diskless laptop client is asking for the boot file . . .
although not getting it yet (? if gateway IP is not set right yet)
but is there a way to log files that actually really get downloaded from the tftp server ?

Also, the server_args -s /tftpboot sets the directory . . .
anywhere to find info on other options -c -l -v that I have seen but google doesn't get much yet.

Thank you very much.

Try the tftpd(8) man page.

. . . tftpd(8) . . .

Dank U zeer . . . I was google searching under server_args.

This could be my missing option :
-u user
Switch credentials to user (default ``nobody'') when the -s option is used.
The user must be specified by name, not a numeric UID.
