What do you mean by "Yes it works."  Are you referening to the SS4/SS5
question, or the rarpd comment.  

ard complains about a missing rarp.  Reading faq says to enable the rarp
kernel option.  That option went away after kernel 2.2 because rarp was
taken out of the kernel and made a user land proggy.  I found the userland
proggy, but it requires support libraries.  I don't have my notes handy,
but it is one of the needed support libraries that is screqing me
up.  Libbdf maybe?

The is a Linux 2.4.? kernel on a redhat 6.0 box.
