/*
**  ETHER_LINE
**
**	This routine parses the array pointed to by "line" (which should be
**	from a file in the format of /etc/ethers) and returns in "eaddr" the
**	ethernet address at the start of the line and the corresponding host
**	name in "hostname".  It assumes either tabs or spaces separate the
**	two.  The buffer pointed to by "hostname" must be big enough to hold
**	the host name plus a NULL byte.
**	The function returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
**	Arguments are assumed sensible.  Null pointers will probably cause
**	exceptions.
