Here's what I see, when I say "boot net" on my sun, running a slightly-more-than-current rarpd on my 2.2-ALPHA FreeBSD box. The diff's between my rarpd and the -current rarpd are probably not relevant. 02:31:11.328583 nectar Broadcast rarp 64: rarp who-is nectar tell nectar 02:31:11.334754 fenestro nectar rarp 60: rarp reply nectar at nectar.parc.xerox.com I don't see rarpd logging *anything*, which may indicate a problem with my syslog.conf . But I also don't see either of the symptoms you are reporting. Do you have lots of stuff in /tftpboot? rarpd does read in the whole /tftpboot directory (or, at least until it sees the file representing the host that it's thinking about sending a reply to). Can you resolve the name that's in /etc/ethers for the booting machine? Perhaps it's a resolver problem. You might want to put the name in /etc/hosts and change /etc/host.conf to look at hosts first if so. Bill
