NAME
     rarpd — Reverse ARP Daemon

SYNOPSIS
     rarpd [-adfl] [interface [...]]

DESCRIPTION
     rarpd services Reverse ARP requests on the Ethernet connected to
     interface.	 Upon receiving a request, rarpd 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 data‐
     bases the translation cannot proceed and a reply will not be sent.

     In normal operation, rarpd forks a copy of itself and runs in the back‐
     ground.  Anomalies and errors are reported via syslog(3).

OPTIONS
     -a	     Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system.  If ‘-a’ is
	     omitted, an interface must be specified.

     -d	     Run in debug mode, with all the output to stderr.	This option
	     implies the -f option.

     -f	     Run in the foreground.

     -l	     Log all requests to syslog.

FILES
     /etc/ethers
     /etc/hosts
