[Tfug] in.tftpd denied

First off, I'm rather new to linux.

Second, I had setup a tftp server on a VM box using Fedora 5.  I thought this would be easy, but apparently not.  

I try to upload a config file from a cisco switch and I get:

TFTP: error code 0 received - Permission denied

%Error opening tftp://10.1.23.45/switch-confg (Undefined error)

Logs from Fedora show the following:

Sep 29 12:52:37 TFTPSRV kernel: audit(1159559557.348:40): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=4513 comm="in.tftpd" name="switch-confg" dev=dm-0 ino=65538 scontext=system_u:system_r:tftpd_t:s0 tcontext=root:object_r:tftpdir_t:s0 tclass=file

I followed directions from this site for additional help, but still no luck:

Obviously its a permissions issue, but what am I looking for?

Thanks,
Eric
