Recently there was some brief discussion about the use of "arp -a" in
conjunction with ping to determine the MAC addresses of UNIX boxes. Does
anyone know of a utility that given a name or IP address that will go out and
determine the MAC address of a given machine (of whatever flavor, not just
UNIX). We have some bad boys on our local net and I know their MAC's but
cannot resolve who they are. Many thanks in advance.
