Note that if you use this method, there's a bug in versions 3.0.2 and
prior that may apply 'deny booting;' to every client that attempts to
boot after the one you denied, until you restart the server.

This was fixed in 3.0.3b2.

So it's best to upgrade.

So long as you're upgrading, I'd like you to try 3.0.4b3 and tell
us how it goes.

If no one says stop it's going to be rc1 this week (as soon as my
boss gets off a plane), and that means it will probably be made 3.0.4
final while I'm hanging out in a bar at IETF 65 in Dallas.
