An install server should ignore non-Athena clients.

 

Some non-Athena workstations on MITnet will broadcast an install request. This might be forwarded to the Athena install server. The result won't be what the workstation's owner wants, and the operations group may get grief about it.

Note that this requirement will conflict with 1.2.5 unless the client is able to supply some information about itself, e.g. ``I want to be installed as irix-athena.''
