Well, that's interesting because when set to 'off', the Slave computer shows
COMMLOST. When commented out (apparently that means 'NETSERVER on'?) the Slave
shows 'ONLINE SLAVE'. So either way, it appears to be a bug from the way I read
the comments:

# NETSERVER [ on | off ] on enables, off disables the network
#  information server. If netstatus is on, a network information
#  server process will be started for serving the STATUS and
#  EVENT data over the network (used by CGI programs).

So, does this mean it should be 'on' if the host is a Master and 'off' if a
Slave? 'on' if the host is either a Slave or Master? 'off' if the host is
neither a Slave nor a Master (controlling Slaves)?
