NAMErarpd — Reverse Address Resolution Protocol daemon DESCRIPTIONrarpd, the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol daemon, implements the server portion of the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol [1]. It responds to RARP requests providing the requested client IP address. Rarpd can be started during boot-time initialization. To do so, set the RARPD variable with RARPD=1 in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. Options are:
The configuration file database contains hardware address to IP address mappings. Other than comment lines (which begin with a '#') and blank lines, all lines are considered client entries. A client entry is of the form: hardware_address WHITE_SPACE ip_address where hardware_address consists of (:) colon-separated hexadecimal bytes, and ip_address consists of (.) dot-seperated decimal bytes. For example: # # hardware addr IP addr # # ethernet clients 08:00:09:26:ec:19 15.13.136.68 08:00:09:17:0a:93 15.13.136.74 # # 100VG clients 08:00:09:63:5d:f5 190.20.30.103 # # FDDI clients 08:00:09:09:53:4c 192.20.30.98 There must be exactly 6 hardware address bytes. There must be exactly 4 protocol address bytes. The following signals have the specified effect when sent to the rarpd process using the kill(1) command:
RETURN VALUEExit status is 1 if the command fails, and error messages are written to stderr and/or syslog. Typically, the daemon will continue answering requests until externally interrupted. LIMITATIONS
