Is there a public version of the RARP protocol. >jclark@ucsd.edu We use bootpd for ip address resolution for ethernetted PCs on a tahoe running BSD 4.3, but Macs running NCSA Telnet look for rarpd to dynamically get an ip number. Apparently there isn't an rarpd implementation under BSD for security reasons - it doesn't like user level processes looking at ethernet packets. If someone has discovered a workaround for this, other than assigning ip numbers for the Macs manually, I'd like to hear it. Tom. -- Tom Killalea | | Trinity College | pkilllea@unix2.tcd.ie |
