>Description:

	manpage arp.8's "`auto''" is unballanced.
	"man arp" shows following output:

             host address is not its own.  In this case the ether_addr can be
             given as `auto'' in which case the interfaces on this host will
             be examined, and if one of them is found to occupy the same sub-
             net, its ether_addr will be used.

>How-To-Repeat:

	% man arp
