Hi, I've had to deal with non-BOOTP-or-DHCP-compliant devices lately (may eternal woe befall the manufacturers of faulty memory chips for Livingston PortMaster 2...), so rarpd(8) was my only option. In the process of changing it, I decided to clean it up a little. At http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/bsd/rarpd/usr.sbin-rarpd.patch there is a patch that does the following: - remove 'register' keywords; - add 'const' to a couple of strings; - add prototypes for several missed functions; - several int/u_int/unsigned/long/format cleanups for WARNS=2; - mdoc(7) cleanup for the rarpd.8 manpage. Functions and prototypes were left in K&R style, although an ANSIfication would make the next change a lot easier. Should I ansify the lot? In addition, http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/bsd/rarpd/usr.sbin-rarpd-d.patch adds a command-line flag, -d, that makes rarpd(8) send diagnostic messages to stdout, error messages to stderr. This is quite useful when running rarpd(8) under some kind of service monitoring script, e.g. supervise/svscan from DJB's daemontools package. Any comments, flames, and references to the hole that I crawled out of are gladly welcome :) G'luck, Peter -- When you are not looking at it, this sentence is in Spanish.
