an alternative to /tftpboot. This is useful it you're using tftpd
with an alternative root (using -s), and would like rarpd to respond
selectively to RARP requests using the same criteria as tftp.

Turn off the FORMAT_AUDIT in the Makefile, until I can figure out how
to disable the check for one single line in the source :(

(e.g., on alphas, or even on i386's with a POSIX-200x-conformant
ntohl() (ntohl() returns uint32_t which is u_int on i386's)).
Fixed related bugs and bogons while I'm here:
- ntohl() was "fixed" for printing in 1 place by casting to
"(unsigned int )". This breaks the value on systems where u_int
is smaller than uint32_t, and has 2 style bugs.
- spell u_int consistently (never use "unsigned").
- break K&R support some more (don't cast malloc()'s arg to a wrong
type...).
Once again, as explained in my messages to -audit, the ANSIfication comes
as part of the preparation to add a new -d command-line flag to send
output to stdout/stderr. That commit will come in a week, pending any
further comments/objections. For those who have missed the -audit mails,
it's at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/bsd/rarpd/usr.sbin-rarpd-d.patch

configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

Explanation of the bug: when processing its first request, rarpd
opens a routing socket to send requests to the arp table. It keeps
that socket open afterwards, while waiting for new RARP requests.
Meanwhile, the data received on the routing socket fill up until
they are about 8Kbytes in size. Any additional data is lost.
When rarpd receives its next RARP request, it tries to access the
ARP table via a routing socket call, then waits for the answer to
its own request. This answer is lost because the received data is
already filled: when looking for the reply, rarpd receives only
8kbytes worth of data, then loops waiting forever.
Someone please test it on -STABLE and commit it. We can close the PR
when testing on STABLE is done.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Fenner was kind enough to point out the error of my ways. This incorporates
diffs from him which:
- Keep everything in network order.
- Log the booted ether & ip address, instead of my address on that net
- change several exit()'s to return()'s, so that rarpd continues running
even if it thinks it's in a weird state.
One small tweak by me: in rarp_bootable(), we have to make sure to
construct 'ipname' in host byte order (if we don't, we have to
specify /tftpboot/<remote IP in hex> with <remote IP in hex> in
network byte order, which is confusing).
Also restored use of <dirent.h> rather than <sys/dir.h> as pointed
out by bde.
Also updated the man page so that the -v flag is documented.
With any luck, I won't have to touch this thing again.
This includes the following changes:
- Support for poking ARP entries into the local table is now built
in, so the arptab.c module I hacked together is no longer needed.
- rarp_process() and rarp_reply() now accept a len argument which is
passed down from rarp_loop() which tells rarp_reply() exactly how
long the original RARP frame was. (Usually, it's 60 bytes, which is
the minimum.) Previously, the length was calculated using the sum
of sizeof(struct ether_header) + sizeof(struct ether_arp) (plus the
ethernet frame header, I think). The result was a total packet
length of 42 bytes. Now, rarp_reply() sends out packets that are
the same size as those it recieves (60 bytes). This agrees with the
behavior of rarpd on SunOS (as observed with tcpdump). The unused
extra bytes are zeroed.
frame type in network byte order. The htons() that wasn't needed in
2.1 is now required in 2.2.
Ultimately, this rarpd should be replaced with the more recent one
supplied with the new BPF distribution.
declaration for ether_ntohost(). (Does anyone know what header file
is supposed to contain the declarations for the ether_addr functions?
I can't them in the SunOS includes anywhere.)
- Implement ether_hostton()
- Implement ether_aton()
- Modify ether_aton() and ether_ntoa() to match the semantics of the
SunOS versions of these functions.
- Neaten up ether_hostton() and ether_ntohost() a little.
- Get rid of ether_print() since it isn't needed for rarpd and it isn't
documented as a standard ethers(5) function.
rarpd.8:
- Make it clear that the 'ipaddr' that rarpd looks for in /tftpboot
is actually in hexadecimal (as in /tftpboot/803B4032) since those who
are not versed in the black art of system administration are not likely
to know this.
