/*
**  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.
