My numerous O'Reilly books do not give me a clue. The man pages appear to be silent on the subject. And my kernel has been compiling for the past 20 hours (it's a '486DX33 with 4Mb of RAM --the extra 16Meg simm I have is bad). Is there something specific that I must change in the configuration file(s) to get RARPD to run. I put the proper (according to the man page) statement in inetd.conf. However, I get a device not configured error (for device bpf0) and it terminates. man bpf doesn't give me a clue. I didn't see anything relating to bpf0 in the GENERIC configuration file. Will just the act of building a kernel configure bpf0 ? If not, could someone point out what is required? TIA, Lowell ====================================================================== Lowell O.
