maas-cluserd cant bind to tftp port

[stsp]

maas 1.10.0+bzr4578-0ubuntu2 from xenial proposed.
Cluster controller doesn't start, as it gets EPERM trying to
bind to tftp port. That port is privileged (below 1024), and
as such, the following change is needed in maas-clusterd.service:

Hi there,

This is actually not needed. MAAS installs and configures authbind that provides the ability to the MAAS user to bind to the port. Do you have anything else running on that? Can you provide the output of :

/etc/authbind/byuid/<uid>/

Thanks!

By what package?
I have /etc/authbind/byuid empty.
Please note that I am using xenial-proposed repo.

maas-cluster-controller package:

You could run this function:

configure_cluster_authbind() {
    MAAS_UID="`id -u maas`"
    if [ ! -f "/etc/authbind/byuid/$MAAS_UID" ]; then
        if [ ! -d "/etc/authbind/byuid" ]; then
            mkdir -p /etc/authbind/byuid
            chmod 755 /etc/authbind
            chmod 755 /etc/authbind/byuid
        fi
    fi
    echo '0.0.0.0/0:68,69' >/etc/authbind/byuid/$MAAS_UID
    echo '::/0,68-69' >>/etc/authbind/byuid/$MAAS_UID
    chown maas:maas /etc/authbind/byuid/$MAAS_UID
    chmod 700 /etc/authbind/byuid/$MAAS_UID
}

> chmod 700 /etc/authbind/byuid/$MAAS_UID
I guess it should be 600, right?
Thanks for this tip! It helped.
So I am not sure why it isn't created automatically.
I now did:
# dpkg-reconfigure maas-cluster-controller

and its still not there. So I guess the bug is valid.
Please check if it works as expected on xenial-proposed.
