| below is the results. I have no idea what I'm looking at/for.

| xinetd    5105           root    8u     IPv4       9913
| UDP *:tf tp
| xinetd    5105           root    9u     IPv4       9914
| UDP *:tf tp

lsof shows you all the "file" type assets a process has open, sockets
being "files" for this purpose.  The lines above show that the xinetd
process 5105 does indeed hold two IPv4 UDP sockets listening on the tftp
port and so it's presumably not a netstat bug.

Maybe it's worth copying your version of

[root at server html]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file
transfer \
#       protocol.  The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
#       workstations, download configuration files to network-aware
printers, \
#       and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
~        socket_type             = dgram
~        protocol                = udp
~        wait                    = yes
~        user                    = root
~        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
~        server_args             = -s /tftpboot
~        disable                 = no
~        per_source              = 11
~        cps                     = 100 2
~        flags                   = IPv4

... just in case.  And really just in case

cd /etc/xinetd.d
grep tftp *
