Because if you are allowing any old anonymous user to write to
that directory then why would one care if you only allowed group
'nobody' to write there?

You could set it to 755 and create a 'cisco' dir underneath with
777, but I would leave that for when it's working.

Chances are though everything under /tftpboot is subject to
modification and /tftpboot will need to be a separate volume to
protect against DoS through filling up the disk drive.
