- _r_a_r_p_d responds to Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (Reverse ARP, RARP)
- requests. It puts itself in the background, and requires root
- privileges.
-
- The Reverse ARP protocol is used by systems at boot time to discover
- their 32-bit Internet Protocol (IP) address given their 48-bit Ethernet
- address. In order for a RARP request to be answered, the requesting
- system's name-to-IP-address entry must exist in the /_e_t_c/_h_o_s_t_s file and
- its name-to-Ethernet-address entry must exist in the /_e_t_c/_e_t_h_e_r_s file.
- Note that if the server running _r_a_r_p_d is using the network information
- service (NIS), the server's /_e_t_c files are ignored and the appropriate
- NIS maps are queried.
-
- Normally _r_a_r_p_d serves all configured IP interfaces which support
- broadcasting. Optional _i_n_t_e_r_f_a_c_e arguments restrict service to only
- those interfaces. The ----dddd option causes _r_a_r_p_d to run in the foreground
- and log diagnostics on its standard error output. The ----llll option causes
- _r_a_r_p_d to record requests in _l_o_g_f_i_l_e.
