To clarify, at 5:30 on Monday, we had 7 people try to run the installer at
about the same time. This caused the error message I sent. After talking
to Jeff Schiller, who apparently reset the inetd, just the instructor tried
to run the installer. This was about 5:45. Her install got about half
way, an then died with the same error. No one from our group was running
the installer, or connecting to net-dist, at that time. Is it possible
that the installer itself sent ftp requests so rapidly that net-dist
thought it was being attacked?
