Hello,
I've looked at some bugs reports for tftpd-hpa and it seems that it
explicitly wants to be executed with root privileges and fails if it's not.
Could tftpd-hpa check for root privileges before trying to call
initgroups(setgroups), setuid/setreuid and chroot() ?
(and probably complain when -s is called and UID is not 0).
Or do you find it useless and need for root privileges so it should be noted
in docs?
