	Hello All ,  I am trying to use in.tftpd under RH 7.0 .

	I have complied & installed tftp-hpa-0.29 .  But I also tried the
	below with the stock tftpd from redhat with the same results .  I
	have to be doing something incorrect here .  But I sure can not
	see it .  Any help is appreciated .  JimL

	From the server:
Apr 22 13:12:53 papapengi in.tftpd[25670]: cannot set groups for user tftp

	From the client:
