Ah yes, xinetd. Redhat is so weird sometimes ;)

Editing /etc/xinetd.d/tftp directly is the same as editing the
appropriate line in /etc/xinetd.conf or a normal /etc/inetd.conf

The file should look something like this:

        service tftp
        {
                disable = no
                socket_type = dgram
                wait = no
                user = root
                protocol = udp
                server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
                server_args = -l -a -s /tftpboot
                log_on_success += DURATION USERID
                log_on_failure += USERID
                nice = 10
        }

Note the "-s /tftpboot" addition on the server_args line.
