Permission denied trying to write to tftp dir directly instead of using smart proxy
Description
Processing HostsController#setBuild (for 10.11.228.39 at 2011-03-08 14:29:29) [GET]
Parameters: {"action"=>"setBuild", "id"=>"testhost1.jweiss.redhat.com", "controller"=>"hosts"}
TFTP Failed: Permission denied - /usr/share/foreman/tftp
Redirected to http://jweiss.usersys.redhat.com:5000/hosts/testhost1.jweiss.redhat.com

"/usr/share/foreman/tftp" - It appears to be constructing this dir from foreman user's HOME dir (/usr/share/foreman), and the ":tftppath: tftp/" setting in
/etc/foreman/settings.yaml.
The problem is this dir is not writable by foreman, but really it should not even be attempting to write there. It should be using the smart proxy which has its own tftp dir setting and actually has permission to write to it. I talked with jsherrill about this and he was not able to reproduce it on his system. Neither of us could find any setting I had missed that would fix it.

You are correct, if you are using a smart proxy, the old legacy tftp code should not be executed.
