I was playing around at parsing the random RARP packets our 386i (SunOS 4.0)
generates, and found that it wasn't using either of the "ar$op" values
defined in RFC 903 for RARP (it defines 3 and 4, the 386i sends 5).  While
I understand "why" in general terms (what else is new), I am somewhat
interested in knowing what 5 "officially" means (and 6, if they send it also).
"YP request" and "YP reply", perhaps?
