Syslinux - Jun 2014 - tftpd-hpa privileges checks under inetd

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?
