<title>Setting up RARP server</title>
<para>
To set up RARP, you need to know the Ethernet address (a.k.a. the MAC address)
of the client computers to be installed.
If you don't know this information, you can
<phrase arch="sparc"> pick it off the initial OpenPROM boot messages, use the
OpenBoot <userinput>.enet-addr</userinput> command, or </phrase>
boot into <quote>Rescue</quote> mode (e.g., from the rescue floppy) and use the
command <userinput>/sbin/ifconfig eth0</userinput>.
</para><para>
On a RARP server system using a Linux 2.4 or 2.6 kernel, or Solaris/SunOS,
you use the <command>rarpd</command> program.
You need to ensure that the Ethernet hardware address for the client is
listed in the <quote>ethers</quote> database (either in the
<filename>/etc/ethers</filename> file, or via NIS/NIS+) and in the
<quote>hosts</quote> database. Then you need to start the RARP daemon.
Issue the command (as root): <userinput>/usr/sbin/rarpd -a</userinput>
on most Linux systems and SunOS 5 (Solaris 2),
<userinput>/usr/sbin/in.rarpd -a</userinput> on some other Linux systems,
or <userinput>/usr/etc/rarpd -a</userinput> in SunOS 4 (Solaris 1).
