I put the proper (according to the man - page) statement in inetd.conf. However, I get a device not configured - error (for device bpf0) and it terminates. man bpf doesn't give me a - clue. I presume you're talking about netstart instead of inetd.conf, since that is where rarpd is configured on NetBSD 1.1, and 1.2. In any event, I found that I could not use ``-a'' to rarpd, as it would go through the interface list, and in the process, find the virtual interface for the ISO stack.. Since that interface had not MAC address, it was generating an error, which was causing rarpd to exit. I found that starting rarpd with the interface name I was interested in worked just fine. -- Eric Schnoebelen eric@cirr.com http://www.cirr.com Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are master of your fate and captain of your soul.
