: While playing with the Sun SLC I got yesterday, I noticed that my
: hand-created arp entries disapear. I created one entry with...
: goldbach root ~# arp -s 130.149.149.163 08:00:20:00:01:02
....
: It seems the 'M'-Flag gets killed while the sparclinux kernel touches the
: network for the first time, so I guess either the bootp broadcast or the
: arp query has this side effect.
Right, bootpd replaced your permanent arp entry with its own
temporary one.
