I think this is the modern way to do it.
chkconfig tftp on
RHL uses xinetd. Here is my working configuration from 7.x:
[root@xxxxxx root]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file
# transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware
# printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating
# systems.
service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -r blksize -s /tftpboot
}
[root@xxxxxx root]#
