<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
The ethers database translates ethernet addresses to hostnames for use by
|
|
the RARP daemon (see <STRONG><A HREF="../man8/rarpd.8.html">rarpd(8)</A></STRONG>.) <STRONG>/etc/ethers</STRONG> may look like this:
|
|
|
|
0:0:c0:a:77:23 darask
|
|
0:0:c0:a:68:ce burask
|
|
|
|
The six octet ethernet numbers must be entered as shown above, the hex
|
|
constants must use lowercase letters and may not have leading zeros.
|
|
Comments are marked with '#'.
|
|
|
|
See <STRONG><A HREF="../man8/rarpd.8.html">rarpd(8)</A></STRONG> on why you shouldn't list Sun hosts in this file.
