.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
.I Rarpd
|
|
services Reverse ARP requests on the Ethernet connected to
|
|
.I interface.
|
|
Upon receiving a request,
|
|
.I rarpd
|
|
maps the target hardware address to an IP address via its name, which
|
|
must be present in both the
|
|
.I ethers(5)
|
|
and
|
|
.I hosts(5)
|
|
databases.
|
|
If a host does not exist in both databases, the translation cannot
|
|
proceed and a reply will not be sent.
|
|
|
|
By default, a request is honored only if the server
|
|
(i.e., the host that rarpd is running on)
|
|
can "boot" the target; that is, a file or directory matching the glob
|
|
/tftpboot/\fIipaddr\fP*
|
|
exists, where \fIipaddr\fP is the target IP address in hex.
|
|
For example, the IP address 204.216.27.18 will be replied to if any of
|
|
/tftpboot/CCD81B12, /tftpboot/CCD81B12.SUN3, or /tftpboot/CCD81B12-boot
|
|
exist.
|
|
This requirement can be overridden with the
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
flag (see below).
|
|
|
|
In normal operation,
|
|
.I rarpd
|
|
forks a copy of itself and runs in
|
|
the background. Anomalies and errors are reported via
|
|
.I syslog(3).
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.LP
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system.
|
|
If `-a' is omitted, an interface must be specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f
|
|
Run in the foreground.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
Supply a response to any RARP request for which an ethernet to IP address
|
|
mapping exists; do not depend on the existence of
|
|
/tftpboot/\fIipaddr\fP*.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Enable verbose sysloging.

|
.SH BUGS
|
|
.I rarpd
|
|
can depend on the DNS to resolve the name discovered from /etc/ethers.
|
|
If this name is not in the DNS but is in /etc/hosts, the DNS lookup
|
|
can cause a delayed RARP response, so in this situation it is reccommended to
|
|
configure /etc/host.conf to read /etc/hosts first.
