+     rarpd - reverse address resolution protocol daemon

+<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
+     <STRONG>rarpd</STRONG> [<STRONG>-d</STRONG>]
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+     <STRONG>Rarpd</STRONG> listens on the ethernet for broadcast packets  asking  for  reverse
+     address resolution.  These packets are sent by hosts at boot time to find
+     out their IP address.  <STRONG>Rarpd</STRONG> looks up the six octet  ethernet  number  in
+     the <STRONG>/etc/ethers</STRONG> file finding a host name.  This name is translated to the
+     IP address of the host by a DNS lookup.  The IP address is then  sent  to
+     the host.
+
+     Before <STRONG>rarpd</STRONG> can start its  service  it  first  finds  out  what  the  IP
+     addresses  of the ethernets are.  It will look through <STRONG>/etc/ethers</STRONG> to map
+     the ethernet addresses to host names.  It then uses <STRONG>/etc/hosts</STRONG> to map the
+     host  names  to  IP  addresses.   If  this lookup fails then several RARP
+     requests are broadcasted in the hope that  some  RARP  server  knows  the
+     addresses.   The  IP  addresses  are  eventually  set  in the same way as
+     <STRONG><A HREF="../man8/ifconfig.8.html">ifconfig(8)</A></STRONG>.  (The address is not changed if already set with  <STRONG>ifconfig</STRONG>.)
+     Note  that  the  host  names  in  the  ethers  and hosts files must match
+     exactly.  The DNS can not  be  used  yet,  so  a  simple  name  can't  be
+     translated to a fully qualified name.
+
+     <STRONG>Rarpd</STRONG> exits after startup if there are no active ethernets, or  if  there
+     is no ethers file.
+
+     <STRONG>Warning!</STRONG> Sun diskless workstations assume that the first RARP server that
+     answers  is  the  host they are to boot from.  For this to work all other
+     Sun RARP servers delay their answer if they are not also  the  requestors
+     boot  server.   The  Minix  <STRONG>rarpd</STRONG>  does  not  have this kludge so it will
+     happily engage the Sun boot server to  see  who  can  answer  the  client
+     first.   Unless your Minix host can actually serve a Sun diskless client,
+     it is better not  to  list  any  more  hosts  in  the  ethers  file  than
+     necessary.
