|
+.SH NAME
|
+rarpd \- Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) daemon
|
+.SH SYNOPSIS
|
+.B "rarpd [-aAvde] [-b bootdir ] [ interface ]"
|
+.SH DESCRIPTION
|
+.B Rarpd
|
+is a daemon which responds to RARP requests.
|
+RARP is used by some machines at boot time to discover their IP address.
|
+They provide their Ethernet address and
|
+.B rarpd
|
+responds with their IP address if it finds it in the ethers database
|
+(either
|
+.I /etc/ethers
|
+file or NIS+ lookup) and using DNS lookup if ethers database
|
+contains a hostname and not an IP address.
|
+By default
|
+.B rarpd
|
+also checks if a bootable image with a name starting with the IP address
|
+in hexadecimal uppercase letters is present in the TFTP boot directory
|
+(usually
|
+.I /tftpboot
|
+) before it decides to respond to the RARP request.
