any log messages? If you don't know how syslog.conf is set,
go to /var/log (or /var/adm, or whatever) and do a grep for
atalkd and afpd.
If you do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk start" (or whatever rh
calls it) by hand, any messages? What happens if you call
afpd by hand? (look at the init file for command line
options, if any).

I usually skip emails about problematic redhat installs,
because it is usually installed from rpm. So a ``default''
install from rpm can means what exactly? It may be helpful
to note what these files are.

Are you comfortable with strace? Try "strace /path/to/afpd"
and examining the results. Again, seeing if apfd managed to
dump a log message my be helpful.
My guess is that the best answer is to compile netatalk by
hand.

Well, afpd is what does the actual sharing, while atalkd
makes the machine visible from the chooser. So if afpd dies
with seg. fault, any kind of file sharing isn't going to
work.
