+.SH NAME
+rarpd \- Reverse ARP Daemon
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.na
+.B rarpd
+[
+.B \-af
+]
+[
+.I interface
+]
+.br
+.ad
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.I Rarpd
+services Reverse ARP requests on the Ethernet connected to
+.I interface.
+Upon receiving a request,
+.Irarpd
+maps the target hardware address to an IP address via its name, which
+must be present in both the
+.I ethers(5)
+and
+.I hosts(5)
+databases.
+If a host does not exist in both databses, the translation cannot
+proceed and a reply will not be sent.
+
+Additionally, a request is honored only if the server
+(i.e., the host that rarpd is running on)
+can "boot" the target; that is, if the directory
+/tftpboot/\fIipaddr\fP
+exists, where \fIipaddr\fP is the target IP address.
+
+In normal operation,
+.I rarpd
+forks a copy of itself and runs in
+the background. Anomalies and errors are reported via
+.I syslog(3).
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+.TP
+.B \-a
+Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system.
+If `-a' is omitted, an interface must be specified.
+.TP
+.B \-f
+Run in the foreground.

+.SH BUGS
+You must have the Berkeley Packet Filter configured into your kernel
+in order to use this program. This isn't really a bug, but it isn't
+exactly a feature either.
