Excellent! ;)

I would like to propose a feature request of adding filespace ACLs to tftpd-hpa.

Example:

I serve data out of /srv/tftp. I only want clients 192.168.1.0/24 to
have read access to /srv/tftp/data_1 and only want clients
192.168.2.0/24 to have read access to /srv/tftp/data_2.

Configuration:

One could create a new config file and command-line option, but I
believe it could also be done as an extension to the map-file.

Add a new operation letter:

c - indicate an extra client field in this rule

map-file contents:

ec 192.168.1.0/24 ^data_1/
a ^data_1/
ec 192.168.2.0/24 ^data_2/
a ^data_2/

What do you think?

Thanks for your consideration.
