We have wanted to setup our SGI as a RARP server for a group of PCs running NCSA Telnet, but were not supplied with the rarpd server. SGI here have told us that we should have received it in the eoe-3.3.1 release tape, but it isn't there. Does anyone have a rarpd suitable? Following is "hinv" output: 1 20 MHZ IP6 Processor FPU: MIPS R2010A/R3010 VLSI Floating Point Chip Revision: 2.0 CPU: MIPS R2000A/R3000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.0 Data cache size: 32 Kbytes Instruction cache size: 64 Kbytes Main memory size: 12 Mbytes Integral Ethernet controller: Version 0 Integral SCSI controller 0: Version WD33C93A Tape drive: unit 2 on SCSI controller 0: QIC 150 Disk drive: unit 1 on SCSI controller 0 Any help appreciated!

After reading your message I tried to find the rarp server. The man page exists. It says that there should be a file /usr/etc/rarpd. This file does not exist!. My system is running IRIX 3.3.1 and has all of the networking software loaded. What gives? Is the software "missing" from the release, or has it been tucked away in some hidden little niche of the release or release tape? Kevin Marinelli Academic Computing Services Dalhousie University

We were told by SGI here in Sydney that /usr/etc/rarpd should have been on the 3.3.1 update tape. I suspect it must be supplied with diskless machines ... or perhaps even then SGI would assume that you would use bootp instead of rarp. -- _--_|\ Patrick John Herlihy, patrick@ccsd.uts.EDU.AU / \ Computing & Communications Services Division, Ph: +61 2 413 8162 \_.--._/ University of Technology, Sydney, Fax: +61 2 416 7471 v PO Box 123, Broadway, New South Wales, 2007, Australia.
