BOOTP is a remote boot protocol for diskless workstations. If you have none in your environment you can safely disable it.
Check whether it's enabled in /etc/inetd.conf, and if so comment out the relevant line.
I suspect since it's already running it must be started by one of your boot time scripts, so you might need to grep for 'bootpd' in /etc/rc?.d/* /etc/rc.d/?/* to find where it is started.
Alternatively you can leave it how it is if it's not doing any harm! Annihilannic.
