it means that your system is listening on UDP/69 for data, which
means that you have a TFTP server running.

the above error makes me think a 2nd copy of xinetd maybe trying to
run, try to stop xinetd (/etc/init.d/xinetd stop), run the netstat
command, if nothing comes back(e.g. you get a new prompt) then start
xinetd again and try to access the tftp server again from that machine
you were using. If you get the same results from netstat as you
did before stopping xinetd, check the process list to be sure xinetd
is stopped. If you need to run lsof | grep UDP to find processes that
are listening on UDP ports.

also, on most tftp servers I've used any files to be accessed must
be chmod 777 in order for the tftp server to serve them. Not sure if this
is true on redhat or not, never used the tftp server with it.
