rarpd problem

Aljosa_1 — Wed, 20 Oct 2004 02:02:59 GMT

Hello,

when I try to start rarpd it dies with following error: /usr/sbin/rarpd : cant bind to any interface. I have hpux 11.00 installed and system has three NIC.

man rarpd says
rarpd -d -f config_file interface_name

You could try using -d and checking the output.
Don't bother with -f config_file unless you want a special one, just use the default:
edit /etc/rarpd.conf to put in the MAC/IP pairs you want.
Then I suggest that unless you want it to listen on all 3 interfaces, that you type in the interface that is on the same subnet as your clients. So rarpd -d lan0 might work.
Lastly the man page says that is only works for ethernet, FDDI and 100VG. It also only mentions 4-byte IPs, so if you are using IPv6, X25 or Token Ring you may have problems. The syslog may give more information too.

I found out that it is security problem.
