This keeps running. syslog file is growing.

Any ideas what causes this? Can (should) I stop bootpd ?

TIA

Update:

I commented out bootps in the inetd.conf file and that stopped bootpd
and the messages. I still would like to know what caused the errors.
Nothing on bootptab has changed (it was never used, all commented out).

TIA.

As I said at http://aplawrence.com/Bofcusm/1014.html I've seen this
happen here and there. I've never put a packet trace on to check, but
I suspect that it's probably DHCP - bootp isn't all that bright.
