  • You could create an init.d/ script that would run at boot – sreimer Jul 22 '11 at 15:54
  • Static ARP entries *bad*... very, **VERY** bad. Also, just because a file doesn't already exist, doesn't mean the system doesn't recognise it. – womble Jul 22 '11 at 23:21

I'm not sure why Ubuntu doesn't ship with /etc/ethers but you can certainly create and edit one yourself. (Oddly enough the net-tools package has an ethers man page but not the file itself.)
