also, the manpage rarpd(8) says:

OBSOLETES
This rarpd obsoletes kernel rarp daemon present in Linux kernels up to
2.2 which was controlled by the rarp(8) command.

which means the kernel version was removed much earlier.

# ps aux | grep rarpd
root 4563 0.0 0.0 1456 332 ? Ss 15:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/rarpd
# rarp -a
This kernel does not support RARP.

Maybe I'm wrong but IIRC rarpd as same as arpd was only neccessary for large RARP table.
