According to /etc/rc.d/rarpd, there should be a PID file. Unfortunately, this means processes looking to see if rarpd is running based on the presence of a PID file (e.g., puppet, cfengine, etc) will most likely keep restarting rarpd indefinitely. >How-To-Repeat: /etc/rc.d/rarpd start ps axuw | grep rarpd (hey look, it's running) /etc/rc.d/rarpd status (but....that says it's not running) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
