George,
I'm wondering which version of tftp-server you installed.
My RH8 box has a /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file that looks like this:
service tftp
{
disable = yes
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
}
One of the big differences I see is the 'user = root' statement,
which I think is required for the tftp daemon to chroot itself into
the /tftpboot directory.
I'm guessing that it still isn't working because tftpd is failing
to start. Check the /var/log/messages file for any clues.
