NAME
       ethers - Ethernet address to IP number database

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/ethers  contains 48 bit Ethernet addresses and their corresponding
       IP numbers, one line for each IP number:

	      Ethernet-address	IP-number

       The two items are separated by any number  of  SPACE  and/or  TAB  char
       acters.	 A # at the beginning of a line starts a comment which extends
       to  the	end  of	 the  line.   The  Ethernet-address  is	  written   as
       x:x:x:x:x:x,  where  x  is  a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff which
       represents one byte of the address, which  is  in  network  byte	 order
       (big-endian).  The IP-number may be a hostname which can be resolved by
       DNS or a dot separated number.

       08:00:20:00:61:CA  pal
