Nothing special this morning. The users were opening their mail as normal.
The one user (our VP) had opened up an attachment in her mailfile and then
got hung. You are correct when you mention the hardware addresses. There
are several of these messages in the logs output.

Not only IP addresses, but, most importantly hardware addresses. I
suspect DHCP is a player in the mix due to the fact that "several people
were 'hung' this morning". Are the users system administrators trying to
perform a NIM install or business end users trying to log into the
workstations? Please clarify.

Your machine mango1 is running a bootp daemon. Everytime it gets a
bootp packet, it checks a file called /etc/bootptab. The error is
coming from the fact that the adresses don't exist in that file (on
mango1).
