NAME
     fix_ethers - add entries to /etc/ethers

SYNOPSIS
     fixethers clientname [ enet_addr (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) ]

DESCRIPTION
     fixethers is a shell script that adds a hostname and
     Ethernet address to the /etc/ethers file so the server can
     honor reverse ARP requests for its clients. Also, an

           arp -s clientname enet_addr pub

     is done to make sure the server will honor reverse ARP
     requests until a reboot is done. Upon rebooting, the
     /etc/ethers file will be used to load the kernel.

Arguments
     clientname   Hostname of the client to be added.

     enet_addr    Ethernet address of the client to be added.
