Basically, rarpd misses a -v option, so the best you could do is stuffing a bunch of printf's into it, and watching it why it doesn't send replies. The source of rarpd itself has not been modified for a long time. Of course, if you hide the printf's fine behind some -v option, finally fire off send-pr, and submit the modification! -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
