I see an attempt to access a different Sun box through TFTP. The first
thing it does is to broadcast an ARP request, but my boot server is not
recognizing it. Looking deeper, I see an error message that was thrown
when I started the add_install_client program. For security reasons, I
ran Titan which cuts services out of /etc/services; this may be waht is
causing the problem. I need to find that unchanged /etc/services.....
