Hi folks,
  I have a question about 1.4.3.  I'm not sure this is the place for it
but since I found this on an i386, I thought I'd post here.  The problem
has to do with rarpd.  Quite simply, it doesn't work.  I have examined 
what's going on and determined that the problem seems to be in the 
ether_ntohost routine. It appears that it's not parsing the /etc/ethers 
file correctly.  Following is a code snippet that shows the problem and 
gives an output of 

ret = -1, hostname = 00:80:46:00:00:50 gizmo1
ea = 00:80:46:00:00:50

Any help would be greatly appreciated...


--- code snippet below --
struct ether_addr *ea;
char *hostname = (char *)malloc(255);

ea = ether_aton("00:80:46:00:00:50");
printf("ea = %s\n", ether_ntoa(ea));
ret = ether_ntohost(hostname, ea);

printf("ret = %d, hostname = %s\n");
printf("ea = %s\n", ether_ntoa(ea));
