NAME
       ethers - ethernet address to hostname database

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/ethers

DESCRIPTION
       The  ethers database translates ethernet addresses to hostnames for use
       by the RARP daemon (see rarpd(8).)  /etc/ethers may look like this:

	      0:0:c0:a:77:23	  flotsam
	      0:0:c0:a:68:ce	  jetsam

       The six octet ethernet numbers must be entered as shown above, the  hex
       constants  must	use  lowercase letters and may not have leading zeros.
       Comments are marked with '#'.

       See rarpd(8) on why you shouldn't list Sun hosts in this file.

FILES
       /etc/ethers    Ethernet addresses database.
