NAME

aarpd - Appletalk Arp daemon.  

SYNOPSIS

aarpd [-d] [-i interface] [-v]  

DESCRIPTION

aarpd implements the Appletalk Arp protocol on a unix host. It obtains an Appletalk node number, and then listens and replies to other nodes trying to find out if this node number is in use.

Other processes on the host (eg kboot) can obtain the node number for this host via an RPC call.  

OPTIONS

-d
Turn on debugging.
-i interface
Specify interface name (eg ie1). Defaults to first interface in kernel.
-v
Print aarpd version number.
 

SEE ALSO

kboot(8), nit(4)  

BUGS

aarpd depends on the SunOS 4.x NIT interface and probably isn't very portable.  

AUTHOR

Bob Schwartzkopf, The RAND Corporation. Much credit is due Dan Tappan of BBN, who wrote the first version of kboot that ran on SunOS 3.x.
