Hello

I examined tftpd.

Current source code tftpd.c is this order:
	chdir(dir) -> listen ->  setuser()
But I suspect distributed binary:
	term% ls -l /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/ip/tftpd
	--rwxrwxr-x M 105 glenda sys 129444 Dec 27 13:33 
/n/sources/plan9/386/bin/ip/tftpd
	term% sum /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/ip/tftpd
	ec968664 129444 /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/ip/tftpd
is not this order.
Because
	term% ps
	...
	none            766    0:00   0:00     144K Open     tftpd
	..
If we compile the source that should be
	term% ps
	...
	arisawa         722    0:00   0:00     120K Open     8.tftpd
	...

I am uneasy if tftpd is running as hostowner.
because that can make security problem.
therefore I hope tftpd.c is coded in this order:
	setuser() -> listen ->  chdir(dir)

I want farther...
1. read only option
2. name space configuration
