Bootpd error in syslog

[CGC Unix Team]

Currently, the following error is repeating itself many, many times in the syslog of one of our DNS servers:
bootpd[3840] : bootsize=621 hp-->bootsize=621

Config:
HPUX 10.20 / K420

This message is not an error, rather it is a status message. Evidently the DNS server is a bootp or dhcp server. The bootsize message is the response to the bs= tag in the bootptab file. Additionally since the size is 621 for both the first part, and the second part of the message; this means that the file is found and is accessable by the client.

Check your bootptab file for the bf= and bs= tags.
