launchd Binding to UDP 69

I have been trying to start a local TFTP server on 10.6.1 and it has been failing. Checked the logs and they indicate that the tftp server wasn't able to bind to the port.

Further checking revealed that launchd is binding to UDP 69 as root. See below.

Tried rebooting to no avail. How can I determine what launchd is actually launching and binding to UDP 69? Further how can I disable this?

Thanks

home-macpro$ sudo lsof -i -P
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
launchd 1 root 18u IPv6 0x0a9dfe20 0t0 TCP localhost:631 (LISTEN)
launchd 1 root 19u IPv4 0x0a9e4b4c 0t0 TCP localhost:631 (LISTEN)
launchd 1 root 21u IPv6 0x0a67bef0 0t0 UDP *:69
launchd 1 root 22u IPv4 0x0a67be14 0t0 UDP *:69

Here is what launchctl says. Still can't figure out which is binding to UDP 69.
