NAME
rarpd - Reverse ARP Daemon
SYNOPSIS
rarpd [ -af ] [ interface ]
DESCRIPTION
Rarpd services Reverse ARP requests on the Ethernet con-
nected to interface. Upon receiving a request, maps the
target hardware address to an IP address via its name,
which must be present in both the ethers(5) and hosts(5)
databases. If a host does not exist in both databses, the
translation cannot proceed and a reply will not be sent.
