fake dhcp bootrequests from an unknown address

[Josip Rodin <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>]

Hi people,

I was wondering if someone can tell me what is this about:

Oct 29 21:36:30 hostname dhcpd-2.2.x: BOOTREQUEST from 00:00:79:58:97:27 via eth0 (non-rfc1048)
Oct 29 21:36:30 hostname dhcpd-2.2.x: No applicable record for BOOTP host 00:00:79:58:97:27 via eth0

This keeps happening at fairly regular intervals, and I have no clue to
what's causing it or how to stop it (it doesn't seem to cause any harm,
other than filling the logs with redundant crap).

I've been told that it's probably caused by a software problem -- it happens
even when only three machines are up on the network, two Linux 2.2.x servers
and a UnixWare 2.1.3.

Anyone have any clues?
