Package: rarpd
Version: 0.981107-7.1
Severity: normal
I'm not quite sure what the exact trigger is for this bug. I have a script to
reconfigure the network config on systems that I admin for. At the end of the
network frobbing, I restart dhcpd, xinetd and rarpd through:
/etc/init.d/rarpd restart
At this point, rarpd sometimes goes beserk. The problems is taht this fills up
/var, causing loads of other problems.
I have a simple patch that makes rarpd exit when this condition happens. So
I am still left with a nonfunctional rarpd, but without the side-effects ;-)
