There are no error messages with regard to the tftp daemon. With RH7.3 it did show up 
on the screen during boot time to be loading and as I said earlier worked fine. But I 
still don't understand why it doesn't work with RH8.0 given that all the files I have 
looked at seem to be the same. Does anyone know if I've missed a file which may have 
have been added to version 8.0?

On the second question, I used to add other directories to the PATH environment, 
certainly on RH 7.3, in the rc.sysinit file but it seems to have been removed from 
this file. I did look at the /etc/profile as this was the place to do it in the 
earlier versions RH6.0 etc, but 7.3 and 8.0 have a different /etc/profile format. I 
don't understand the PATHMUNGE syntax and I don't know how it works. How would I add a 
directory, say /usr/local/something/another to the PATH to make it available 
system-wide? The story is this: I'm trying to install an anti-virus program which 
requires the file "ldconfig" but reports it can't find it. The file, however, resides 
in /sbin which I believe by default is in the system PATH setting.

Check your /var/log/ log files for error messages.

"man tftpd" and see if there is a verbose option.
