Hi All, I am having some rather weard problems with rarpd. I have the line 00:50:56:00:25:1b vm27-sol9u5
in my /etc/ethers and vm27-sol9u5 192.168.37.27 in /etc/hosts. I have a file C0A8251B in /tftpboot. I run rarpd as /usr/sbin/rarpd -d -v vmnet1 (adding -e does not change anything). Yet when the rarp request is received by the host (tcpdump reports 13:30:24.102116 rarp who-is vm27-sol9u5 tell vm27-sol9u5), rarpd does not find the ethernet address in /etc/ethers. It writes the following in /var/log/debug Mar 9 13:30:48 auseng040 rarpd[24756]: RARP request from 00:50:56:00:25:1b on vmnet1 Mar 9 13:30:48 auseng040 rarpd[24756]: not found in /etc/ethers My nsswitch.conf file has ethers: files The weardest things is that the same configuration on a different machine (also RedHat 9) works. Any ideas about what I should be looking at. Thanks for any help.
