cb_reset
Resetting host snax-cb0...
warning: ether_hostton(SrcHost:beer): Bad file number

snax-cb1 is ready...

The cb_reset actually completes, but the error messages are annoying.
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
/etc/nodename is probably incorrect.

The following details are from a machine that *is* suffering from
the error message. Note that /etc/nodename contains an alias to 
the real name of the ssp.  To correct the problem, edit /etc/nodename to 
match the true name and reboot.

# cat /etc/nodename
beer

# cat /etc/hostname.qfe0
snax-ssp

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
129.153.49.179	snax-ssp beer	loghost

# cat /etc/ethers
