Hi, recently a strange event occurred.  A Sun workstation in the astronomy
dept. here sent out a message to request a remote boot.  Our Iris 4D/220 picked
up that message and attempted to provide a remote boot to this workstation.
  This happened repetitively until I disabled this ability in the /etc/services
file of the IRIS.  Novice that I am, I am asking the wizards WHY did this
happen?
